@@alycooper1932 She probably wasn't drunk. She may have some dementia going on. That second cop was WAY out of line the way he treated her and was acting towards her. Based on my observation MY ASS! He was out to get her. That was perfectly clear.
@@retroguy9494 way out of line? dude did you watch the video? They pulled her over because she was driving recklessly. Regardless if she was drunk or not she was endangering those kids. How do you even come close to defending this woman?
Whether this was a medical issue or a DUI (or both), she needed to be taken off the road for everyone's safety - not in the least, for her own grandchildren! Great police work here, both officers should have proud parents!
It's crazy how her demeanor completely changed from the first officer's interaction to the second. And the fact the kids weren't scared or upset shows this is a normal day with Granny 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Not only grandma is drunk and medicamented, she plays the racist card. She got mad that a black had power over her. I remember both of my granny and they were saints compared to this nobel prize !
Even the milk would runaway, but seriously diabetes has the same effect. She may not want to admit she has a problem. Remember she told the officer she went to get her medication. Some people will never admit and that is her loss.
This woman comes across like a very hateful, bitter, cruel woman. The way she talked to her grandchildren is very concerning. They barely made a peep and were only trying to help. My heart breaks for them. I can only imagine how scared they were due to the way she was driving. Hopefully she'll lose her license, but then how are the kids going to get around? It sounds like this family could really use help. 😳
And she is so stupid, she didn’t realize that the kids were helping her! The long silences, where she couldn’t answer simple questions were damning! If she’d confirmed what the kids said, she might have even gotten out of this!
Ah yes! Allow me to add yet another obligatory comment praising officers any time they do not violate anyone's rights or blow anyone's heads off. They acted like adults, that's INCREDIBLE!!!! Give them all raises!!!!
This is one of the most patient and respectful officers I've seen making an arrest on this channel in awhile. He literally gave her a complete WAY OUT of going to jail for DUI: by offering her to call someone to give her and her grandkids a ride home and she just pissed all of it away because she couldn't control her emotions...
Bull! He was a major league dickhead with an attitude from the beginning who got all butthurt when grandma didn't fall for his tricks and false accusations. So when she didn't do what he wanted when he was bullying her, his little Napoleon complex kicked in and he arrested her. The first officer said he smelled NO traces of alcohol. Plus he was respectful to her. That second piece of crap came up to her loaded for bear. Perhaps she did NOT have anyone she could call! I wouldn't in a situation like that. I'm an upper middle aged bachelor with no kids who lives alone and who's family is mostly dead now. Regarding her 'emotions' did it ever occur to you that she might have some dementia? She's an old woman. Those things DO happen you know. That's no reason to automatically assume she's wasted!
yes! Exemplary behavior & demeanor from the second officer, I was so impressed with how he handled every moment thru out the whole interaction. Kudos to the first officer as well, he was also extremely professional. Especially how they handled talking in front of the kids with care. This should be a training video
Not exemplary. Drunk drivers kill people. Don't give them a way out without them experiencing consequences otherwise she'll be back on the road drunk the next day. I'm glad she got a DUI and 2 counts of child abuse. She won't do that again.
@@lyfebooks3916 Yet another person who automatically assumes she was drunk just because a cop ACCUSED her of it with ZERO evidence other than a cops opinion which is done pretty much every time someone is acting odd. A woman in another comment said she did some research on the case and found that it turns out this woman has some cognitive issues. Perhaps early onset dementia. Given this medical FACT are you STILL glad she was charged with a DWI and child abuse?
How devastating for the grandkids to have this happen while they were with their grandma. I'm so glad the cops stopped her so she didn't injure them in an accident.
Imagine how the kid's parents feel now. I hope they aren't just like grandma here. I bet Thanksgiving dinner was an awkward one. The kids sound old enough to understand what's going on, and judging by how they were finishing her sentences for her it sounds like they're tired of her shit too.
The deputy was trying to use the kid's speaking up as an excuse to get her out of the car *probably* without undermining her or scaring them, but she only caught on to the fact that he was trying to fool her grandkids, to manipulate the situation, and get control of her. That, I believe, is what got her on the defensive.
@@tedunguent156 : Was she? There was no alcohol on her breath. And she very emotionally said, clipped in at the end of the video, that the blurred man in the front seat (a family member or friend who came to get the kids and maybe go pick her husband up?) knows that she doesn't even drink.
As a former police officer, I can tell this cop was probably just gonna have a friend or family member of hers pick her up, and drive her and her grandchildren home..and maybe even drive them in her own truck. Her attitude made that possibility go right down the drain, rightfully so..
Thankfully DUIs are taken a little more seriously nowadays since they continue to kill and/or disable so many people, including cops, every single day.
I had to take a neighbor's keys from him because he was falling down so much and smell of liquor. I call his family to come and help him. I gave the officer that showed up the keys. And let the officer handle the situation.
As a citizen, my question is, why would she get special treatment? Is it because of her age? What if she gotten into an accident and those children died? I believe so matter who you are if you break the law or put children in danger, then you need to face the law being a grandma does not get you out of consequences.
Cops always pretend they are your best friend , the cops are not your friends and do not forget that . Their job is to screw you over . Pretty sure the ( Whatever ) is really what the cop is very mad about . PERIOD Whatever ! 80/23
@@ericaknesek3266 you are absolutely right, but it is up to the officer to make these decisions. Most base those decisions on the attitude of the DUI suspect, especially when that traffic stop happens in an area with lots of serious crimes. In some cities and counties, it takes hours to book someone. The cop's concern is a potential shooting, armed robbery, kidnapping, and so on, while he or she is filling out paperwork at the jail. There is the ," Letter of the Law ", and lots of cops follow that, no matter what, and then there is the " Spirit of the Law ". An example is a homeless person stealing a warm hat, on a subzero night. We would actually buy the clothes for them whenever that happened, and that suspect had a friendly demeanor, instead of freaking out as soon as they saw us. I know it's not the same as drunk driving..it's just an example. Imagine pulling over a woman who was at home, drinking with her abusive boyfriend, and the guy starts beating on her. What if they live in a rural area, no Uber, no Taxi, and she has to drive to get out of there to save herself ? Do you arrest her too, making her situation worse than it already is ?
Those officers were so sweet. It was crazy to see her demeanor change with the second officer. I'm glad they kept the children safe. They sounded like they had more sense than she did.
Her actions of a cop being told a story, a cop believing the story, a cop unlawfully pulling her over based on a story rather than an observation, and then having her freedom stole based off a story. Most rational people would be upset over having their freedom stolen, and most rational people know to be polite to these maniacs because retaliation is a thing. When they're telling you they're going to f you over, why continue the show? Cops aren't respected, they are feared. Wake up.
I believe that anyone who is arrested for DUI should have to watch the body cam footage in court at sentencing. If she saw how she acted especially with those babies in the car, she’d see that she needs help! So sad for those grandkids! If this was my mother, she’d never be left alone with my kids again! 🤬🤬🤬
@@galaxiyamoon I hope so! So many people are in denial about their issues, but if they have to watch the video in open court hopefully they can see how bad the situation is and get help!
@@galaxiyamoon I very much doubt it. You dont get to her age without noticing you're a drunk...and her grandchildrens parents cant pretend they werent aware either. You dont suddenly go frombeing a sober responsible citizen to someone well practiced at driving pissed up overnight! They cant really plead ignorance on this one!
Wow. When the first officer talked to her, she sounded almost OK. And then when the 2nd officer talked to her through the passenger side window, it was complete word salad. So glad he did that.
Grandma definitely had something going on with her. From her shitty attitude to having an issue with the officer who was calling her out on her BS. People just don't like being accountable these days, for anything it seems.
My mother started acting out and speaking this way in her mid-50s. The way this woman shifted from semi-lucidity to slurred speech to belligerence was very familiar to me. Mom didn't drink alcohol or do any illicit drugs. She was starting to experience one of the long term effects of lifelong Type 1 diabetes, exacerbated by inconsistent insulin self-treatment. As soon as I realized what was happening, but not before she totaled a car, I promised that I would drive her anywhere she needs to go if she'd give up her license and not replace the car. It's been 24 years since she has driven and we've gotten some good mother-son road trip time. She manages her insulin injections better now and doesn't have those spells anymore, but having a chauffeur suits her much better.
@Lucy Fruge you can believe that she went straight to the er for a blood draw before being booked. They can file any charge they want. It is ultimately up to the prosecutor/DA to pursue those charges.
you realize they found out she had alcohol in her AFTER illegally arresting her right? no you dont realize because your blinded by stupidity.. all you boot lickers will get your day or have already got it and just dont have a clue the illegal shit the cops do
This is one grandmother nobody should allow to drive their kids anywhere and shouldn’t be allowed to drive at all. She doesn’t know which way is up let alone be competent to drive a vehicle.
@@sharedknowledge6640 ya you say that in hindsight.. but regardless of that im sure youd love it if stop and frisk was in every county in every state wouldnt you
My mother was an alcoholic and psychopathic. She mentally tortured me as a child, and I would hide in the back of her vehicle when she’d go out drinking to try and protect her still. I tried to fight many men off of her and was forced to a couch one night by grown men while they did whatever they wanted in the next room. I would sometimes drive her to work because she was still drunk. She was a teacher and I went to the same school. My entire family failed me as a child as nothing was ever done about it. This is worse on those kids than many can imagine. I ended up addicted to drugs by the age of 15. I dropped out of high school at freshman year. I decided to clean my life up and work hard. It took 15 years but I’ve completed my masters degree and in a therapist today that worlds with abused kids. I have no sympathy for anyone who does this with children. None.
She is definitely impaired behind the wheel. Her own speech and demeanor proves the point why she was a concern for the cops. She couldn’t even formulate the response of where she lives!!! Lord have mercy!!!!
Both of the officers were very kind not to jump to conclusions by asking about her health 1st. That being said, I'm sure her family knows about her issues so shame on her and whoever let her drive those kids around. She has no idea how lucky she was to be given the choice to get someone to pick her & the kids up but she blew it.
People with dementia don’t know they are having a medical emergency. Have you ever dealt with someone who has dementia they turn on a dime nice one second mean the next. My grandma had it 4’11” sweet as a cupcake but could say things that would make a sailor cry. Is there an update was she found guilty?
@@lindsaybc2192 who did she was legally drunk did you see a intoxalizer report? Was she convicted? I’m just giving a plausible excuse for her actions, while everyone else had her convicted on death row already.
Looks can be deceiving. Her true colors really started to show after she realized that they weren't buying her timid little old lady act. It would've been nice to know what her BAC was.
I think they needed to take her to the hospital to be checked out. She was having mental or health issues I think. She said she hadn't taken her medications that day. The police never asked her what kinds of medications she was on. Is she a diabetic? Was she low on glucose?
Yes, this is what I got from her to. One day, most of us will become to old to drive. Or dementia can start showing and make you unable to drive. Dementia can make a person appear bad tempered to. It did not say anything about her having drunken alcohol in the report.
Very reminiscent of my mother, organic senility, vascular dementia frequent episodes of mini strokes, she was just as nasty, foul, and aggressive coupled with paranoia, it only got worse from there, we stopped her ability to drive after she crashed my fiancée car in a parking lot
This cop was outstanding. Props to him. My grandma made cookies, loved and kissed us. This one says "Whatever". LOL. Great job lady. She turned that "angry" switch on pretty quickly I will say. I'll bet she's a really happy drunk. Not trying to make light of the situation, and those poor kids. Maybe this will help her get the help she needs.
I've noticed the past 15 years, Grandmas have changed. Now they go to WalMart with their fuzzy slippers on, greasy hair, and sloppy sweatshirts. When they have their grandchildren with them half the time they're screaming at them, and the other half they're putting up with outrageous behavior from said grandchildren and smiling "helplessly". I've determined not to be "that" grandma.
@@kedeglow2743 Perhaps because their children are using them as free daycare. I don't think there is any excuse to drink while looking after kids, ot to shout at them, but their retirements are being taken away from them with childcare. There is also no excuse for wearing pj's in public. That's the real crime here!
@@Blackheathenly Uh no... However my mother isn't a pitiful dunk hag like this woman, that would never risk the very lives of my, or my sister's children. Because she isn't a piece of shit.
This officer that originally stopped her is the Most Kind, Gentle, Reasonable officer I have seen in one of these videos! Some officers just immediately have a superior attitude and not much compassion before they speak to the person. Bless you...and Thank you! After finishing the video the officer that arrested her was also Very Wise and did the right thing. He was very patient with this obnoxious woman and thankful she was not allowed to drive her grandkids!
My Nanny was an alcoholic, but knew better than to drive while under the influence. She was an amazing grandmother. I miss her so much. God rest her soul.
@@MERLINnecrofan There is no evidence she was. It was a clickbait headline. DUI can be pills, weed, powder. This lady wasn't drunk they would have smelled it. Nowhere in the video was she tested.
You think they just came and handed the kids over to drunk grandma? Why would you not assume she just came and picked them up that morning when she was sober? Maybe she has had them for a couple days and is bringing them home. You don't have any idea.
Don't immediately assume they knew all along. It's not that unusual for families to be unaware of their loved one's addiction. I didn't know my dad was an alcoholic until he quit drinking.
As you are driving down the road, you have no idea who is around you. That is why you should always pay attention to what is going on around you. When I come to an intersection and somebody is making a left turn towards me, I watch their eyes to see what they are looking at. Driving a motorcycle will teach you that in a hurry, but being in a car is the same thing. It only takes a second to ruin your day. The roads are full of people like her in this video. Watch for them.
Preach, brother. Gotta keep that head on a swivel. I got bumped by a car on my bicycle, prob going like 5 mph, but bounced my head off the pavement and ended up with a brain bleed and a fractured hip. Cars are scary, 3-4000 lbs moving faster than any animal alive, people take it for granted bc we've been around em all our lives, but that's like 2 elephants strapped on top of each other outrunning a cheetah.
I can't tell you how many times people have pulled out from a parking lot at a store and not even look left when turning out. Usually it's women. Not even kidding. They'll be maybe 10-20 ft away from me and I have to slam on my brakes. It's ridiculous how oblivious people can be. They have the IQ of a donkey. Throughout all of my years, it seems to be that men are typically really aggressive on the road while women are just oblivious and ignorant.
I was grateful that I got to go through the same defensive driving course our county deputies use way back when I went took EMT\Paramedic classes. It taught me so much that I still use today.
I drove a bike for over 30 years and glad that I don't ride anymore. Nowadays, between the geezers, the pot heads, and young chicks texting and fixing their make up, you don't stand a chance.
I love how the cop clearly explains when and where she was driving poorly. Usually they just say “the reason I stopped you is for unusual driving” or some shit like that
She was fine with the first officer. She probably figured that she could sweet talk her way out of it with him. But she probably sensed that the second officer was strictly business and that is why she turned all nasty on him. She realized that the gig was up and let her real self come through.
The second officer was a DUI cop. That’s why the first cop told him to go ahead on his stop and check her out. They live , breathe Dui’s all day or night then go to court all day testifying against them. So they know their stuff. That’s why he backed this guy up. He heard the radio and thought” maybe alcohol or drugs are involved).. my husband was aDui, DRE(drug recognition Expert) for 35 years in our big city and saw things like this of all ages. A lot of cops were ready to let a very impaired person drive home till he tested them which is crazy because if she wrecked and killed her grandkids or some other innocent person it would be on the police dept hands because they let her go. I wish we knew what her BAC was. Sad really sad granny.
I’ve researched this, this poor lady has been recently diagnosed with dementia/Alzheimer’s. So super sad. The officers were very respectful and concerned for her safety and her grandchildren’s.
Then shame on her kid for not protecting his children from her. That is endangerment. She had no business driving, especially with her grandkids in the car.
2:33 Oh my GOD she literally had the BEST out right there if she had just said YES. It would’ve gotten her off the road AND she’d be taken to a place that might be able to help her. This isn’t just drugs/alcohol. My mom had dementia and was an alcoholic and this lady’s behavior is almost EXACTLY what it was like. She should not be driving period, let alone inebriated. I hope she receives more support from her family.
This incident was definitely needed though. Without this happening, she would still be cruising around either drunk or both deteriorating mentally while being drunk. I hope they took her license especially since she had those kids in the car with her. Something tragic could have happened that day or anytime there after with her behind the steering wheel whatever her issue may be.
both these officers were super patient and cool, but especially the black officer, he spoke super calmly and even admitted to the other officer he wasn’t even sure if she had been drinking from what he could see himself, great job man
God, I hate when drunk drivers drive with children. It proves to me immediately that you don’t care about them at all. If you did, you wouldn’t drive drunk in the first place.
I get a strange satisfaction from seeing drunk women drivers finally being held accountable for their actions after decades of being allowed to flirt or cry their way out of being arrested for DUI, but this is not alcohol. I think the officer's missed the signs of dementia that this woman is exhibiting. I don't know what the legal limits are on personal medical enquiries, but they should have attempted to find out what her medications were for and if she has ever been advised by a medical professional not to drive a vehicle. I could be wrong, but I think anyone working with the elderly will recognize dementia, and possibly Alzheimer's in this woman. Either way she has to be taken off the road, for her sake and others. For those condemning her for being "mean", imagine through no fault of your own, losing the ability to care for yourself and those around you little by little every day...losing your independence and then losing the people you love because you can't even recognize them. Sad.
@1966johnnywayne I agree. I had a parent with alzheimers and it could transform them from a lovely person into someone unrecognisable in the space of seconds. I think the issue with these videos is that we are making judgements on people and situations without knowing all the facts or background. Not saying she should have been driving as clearly she shouldn't have been but I would have hated to have seen my parent's worse moments of confusion and distress played out for strangers on the Internet.
Both officers were super professional, but kind of a shame the first one didn't catch her being under the influence. The second officer was soooo super professional, patient and discerning it blew my mind, especially in light of how many videos of police acting the direct opposite have surfaced lately. I wish I could give him a medal! He should mentor rookie police nationwide!
I play video games with an Indiana cop and he’s a super nice guy, but even he has had to work in the jail for 2 years due to anxiety. I couldn’t imagine having his job, hearing him describe it everyday is a nightmare.
The first officer was the first to notice. He stated he didn't smell alcohol but knew something wasn’t quite right with her. That’s why he consulted the second officer to help confirm his concerns.
Hilarious how she was cool with the first cop because she was gonna get away with it, then once she realizes the 2nd cop isn't letting her go anywhere, its "I bet your momma's proud!"
Yet another super cool cop! gives her the opportunity to call someone to come and pick her up and she says "no" he could see she was clearly extremely intoxicated and asks her to exit the vehicle at which points she turns ugly! It's possible the officers involved saved the lives of her grandchildren.
I'm astonished this elderly woman has made the choice to not only drive but take her young grandchildren along with her risking their lives and other's lives in her path. Plus she was very rude and insulting to the second officer and in front of her grandchildren too. I hope the kids don't grow up to behave like her ! I think the woman is either drunk or has dementia or both ! I'm glad she was arrested and I hope the children's parents prevent her from driving them anywhere ever again.
@@byah160 A younger person should know better but with this grandmother she came from an era where drunk driving was perfectly acceptable and in most states perfectly legal. She has probably been driving drunk with kids in her car for the past 65 years.
This makes me glad I grew up with non-drinkers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, all teetotalers. Always thought they were uncool, but it’s way better than dealing with these kinds of messes.
As someone who's had to jump out of the car in PJs in public before when I was just toting grandkids... brushing back your old lady hair ain't gonna help. Own the PJs and bare feet look. And don't be an ass towards the cops doing their jobs.
Not only did she get 2 felony child abuse charges and 2 dui w minor in car,but if she is getting any public assistance or if she is getting paid for child care that could be effected. What a disgrace!
Sadly, this seems more like indicators of Dementia or Alzheimer's. My mother's diagnosis came after she left the scene of a small fender bender and continued on to the gym with her best girlfriend. I was blessed to have been her caregiver but man lemme tell ya... What a ride! Thank goodness these officers recognized something was wrong and remained patient. I hope this woman's loved ones have found her the amazing patient kind care she deserves. ❤
If that's dementia or Alzheimer's, the best her family could do is take away her car keys. She'll be off the road now, having refused to do sobriety tests. Better for the safety of everyone.
@@lr8607my mother made her own decision to stop driving when she started experiencing dementia symptoms. She was so good with that, realizing her limitations as she got older
Well that's a first! She should be glad though that she was stopped and she wasn't involved in a accident and the police treated her fine, she sure is a grouchy old thing 🤗🖤💙❤️
@@sandib4234 Yeah based on a assumption she was drunk, yet she has not been convicted of DUI. Just charged. So we see you like to assume. Sign of ignorance.
Her children would have noticed something was wrong before she was diagnosed. My father had been behaving weirdly and forgetting things and by the time we got the diagnosis we already knew in the family. They should be ashamed.
Yeah, I'm sure his mama is proud of him. Both officers' moms are probably very proud of them. They handled this really well. I wouldn't have had the patience for that old bat endangering those kids that way. You can tell she's not good to them by the way she talks to them. Poor kids.
This videos really open your mind to how many unsafe drivers there is out there. People think because alcohol is legal its okay to abuse. Alcohol shouldn't be advertised everywhere like its Pepsi or Gatorade
Gotta give so many props to these officers who were super cool to her, gave her all the benefit of the doubt before even thinking she was under the influence. But also how damn sad for thos kids, trying to help her answer questions 😢
This looks to me more like someone in cognitive decline rather than drunk. My mum was like this during the last few years of her life. She could go from quiet and not finding her words, to really angry, insulting and belligerent, then tears as she was convinced someone was trying to kill her to not knowing who I or my son was to going back to being, seemingly, completely fine. Time of day, weather and how hydrated she all played a part, but you never knew from moment to moment which version of her you were going to get. I guess all the people on here who just assume that it has to be alcohol even though the police stated they didn't see any signs are lucky they can be so judgemental as they've not had the experience of someone they love going through cognitive decline, and trust me, the level of insults and vitriol on display here is nothing.
whatever the reason, she put her grandchildren at risk, and that is unacceptable. honestly, it looked more like she was trying to talk her way out of a ticket and got angry when she realized she couldn't. it may not be alcohol or mental decline due to age. it may just be a selfish, entitled person getting caught in the act.
The officers explained everything clearly and calmly and showed concern for health and safety, which is refreshing.They were professional despite the woman change in mood.

He literally gave her a complete WAY OUT of going to jail for DUI: by offering her to call someone to give her and her grandkids a ride home and she just pissed all of it away because she couldn't control her emotions...
Bull! He was a major league dickhead with an attitude from the beginning who got all butthurt when grandma didn't fall for his tricks and false accusations. So when she didn't do what he wanted when he was bullying her, his little Napoleon complex kicked in and he arrested her. The first officer said he smelled NO traces of alcohol. Plus he was respectful to her. That second piece of crap came up to her loaded for bear.
Perhaps she did NOT have anyone she could call! I wouldn't in a situation like that. I'm an upper middle aged bachelor with no kids who lives alone and who's family is mostly dead now.
Regarding her 'emotions' did it ever occur to you that she might have some dementia? She's an old woman. Those things DO happen you know. That's no reason to automatically assume she's wasted!
yes! Exemplary behavior & demeanor from the second officer, I was so impressed with how he handled every moment thru out the whole interaction. Kudos to the first officer as well, he was also extremely professional. Especially how they handled talking in front of the kids with care. This should be a training video
Not exemplary. Drunk drivers kill people. Don't give them a way out without them experiencing consequences otherwise she'll be back on the road drunk the next day. I'm glad she got a DUI and 2 counts of child abuse. She won't do that again.
@@lyfebooks3916 Yet another person who automatically assumes she was drunk just because a cop ACCUSED her of it with ZERO evidence other than a cops opinion which is done pretty much every time someone is acting odd. A woman in another comment said she did some research on the case and found that it turns out this woman has some cognitive issues. Perhaps early onset dementia. Given this medical FACT are you STILL glad she was charged with a DWI and child abuse?
@@retroguy9494 yeah well I read a comment somewhere that said she punched a baby in the face and laughed. given this FACT are you STILL glad?!
Phenomenal police work. They were so patient with her the entire time even thou she was being rude and didn’t want help from the officers
How devastating for the grandkids to have this happen while they were with their grandma. I'm so glad the cops stopped her so she didn't injure them in an accident.
Imagine how the kid's parents feel now. I hope they aren't just like grandma here. I bet Thanksgiving dinner was an awkward one.
The kids sound old enough to understand what's going on, and judging by how they were finishing her sentences for her it sounds like they're tired of her shit too.
Or others
The cop did the right thing by putting the handcuffs on her out of view of the grandkids.
@@jazzfeline5970 TRUTH
Yes, the poor children! Alcoholism is so devastating in many different ways! What a nasty old lady SMH 😦
She went from very confused to really mean, glad they got her off the road& everyone is safe
Typical of a drunk.
The deputy was trying to use the kid's speaking up as an excuse to get her out of the car *probably* without undermining her or scaring them, but she only caught on to the fact that he was trying to fool her grandkids, to manipulate the situation, and get control of her. That, I believe, is what got her on the defensive.
@@pvtbuddie Yeah, she was drunk but the cop "needed an excuse".
@@tedunguent156 :
Was she? There was no alcohol on her breath. And she very emotionally said, clipped in at the end of the video, that the blurred man in the front seat (a family member or friend who came to get the kids and maybe go pick her husband up?) knows that she doesn't even drink.
@@tedunguent156 :
But, by "excuse" I don't mean a legal justification. I mean to not make it obvious to the kids that grandma is getting arrested.
As a former police officer, I can tell this cop was probably just gonna have a friend or family member of hers pick her up, and drive her and her grandchildren home..and maybe even drive them in her own truck. Her attitude made that possibility go right down the drain, rightfully so..
Thankfully DUIs are taken a little more seriously nowadays since they continue to kill and/or disable so many people, including cops, every single day.
I had to take a neighbor's keys from him because he was falling down so much and smell of liquor. I call his family to come and help him. I gave the officer that showed up the keys. And let the officer handle the situation.
As a citizen, my question is, why would she get special treatment? Is it because of her age? What if she gotten into an accident and those children died? I believe so matter who you are if you break the law or put children in danger, then you need to face the law being a grandma does not get you out of consequences.
Cops always pretend they are your best friend , the cops are not your friends and do not forget that . Their job is to screw you over . Pretty sure the ( Whatever ) is really what the cop is very mad about . PERIOD Whatever ! 80/23
@@ericaknesek3266 you are absolutely right, but it is up to the officer to make these decisions. Most base those decisions on the attitude of the DUI suspect, especially when that traffic stop happens in an area with lots of serious crimes. In some cities and counties, it takes hours to book someone. The cop's concern is a potential shooting, armed robbery, kidnapping, and so on, while he or she is filling out paperwork at the jail. There is the ," Letter of the Law ", and lots of cops follow that, no matter what, and then there is the " Spirit of the Law ". An example is a homeless person stealing a warm hat, on a subzero night. We would actually buy the clothes for them whenever that happened, and that suspect had a friendly demeanor, instead of freaking out as soon as they saw us. I know it's not the same as drunk driving..it's just an example. Imagine pulling over a woman who was at home, drinking with her abusive boyfriend, and the guy starts beating on her. What if they live in a rural area, no Uber, no Taxi, and she has to drive to get out of there to save herself ? Do you arrest her too, making her situation worse than it already is ?
Those officers were so sweet. It was crazy to see her demeanor change with the second officer. I'm glad they kept the children safe. They sounded like they had more sense than she did.
NCSO definitely has some nice officers.
Amazing how she goes from confused grandma to poisonous harridan as soon as it dawns on her that she is going to be held accountable for her actions.
Yep!!!
Terrifying really.
Grandma done right though. Refused to talk. OG
Thank you for teaching me the word harridan. Never heard of it until now, terrific usage.
Her actions of a cop being told a story, a cop believing the story, a cop unlawfully pulling her over based on a story rather than an observation, and then having her freedom stole based off a story. Most rational people would be upset over having their freedom stolen, and most rational people know to be polite to these maniacs because retaliation is a thing. When they're telling you they're going to f you over, why continue the show? Cops aren't respected, they are feared. Wake up.
I believe that anyone who is arrested for DUI should have to watch the body cam footage in court at sentencing. If she saw how she acted especially with those babies in the car, she’d see that she needs help! So sad for those grandkids! If this was my mother, she’d never be left alone with my kids again! 🤬🤬🤬
I am sure when she sobered up in jail she realized she needs help.
@@galaxiyamoon I hope so! So many people are in denial about their issues, but if they have to watch the video in open court hopefully they can see how bad the situation is and get help!
@@galaxiyamoon I very much doubt it. You dont get to her age without noticing you're a drunk...and her grandchildrens parents cant pretend they werent aware either. You dont suddenly go frombeing a sober responsible citizen to someone well practiced at driving pissed up overnight! They cant really plead ignorance on this one!
Great idea!
she prolly gunna say whatever
Wow. When the first officer talked to her, she sounded almost OK. And then when the 2nd officer talked to her through the passenger side window, it was complete word salad. So glad he did that.

@@benjurqunov what the hell are you talking about?
My mother started acting out and speaking this way in her mid-50s. The way this woman shifted from semi-lucidity to slurred speech to belligerence was very familiar to me. Mom didn't drink alcohol or do any illicit drugs. She was starting to experience one of the long term effects of lifelong Type 1 diabetes, exacerbated by inconsistent insulin self-treatment. As soon as I realized what was happening, but not before she totaled a car, I promised that I would drive her anywhere she needs to go if she'd give up her license and not replace the car. It's been 24 years since she has driven and we've gotten some good mother-son road trip time. She manages her insulin injections better now and doesn't have those spells anymore, but having a chauffeur suits her much better.
Bless you!
I just don’t understand how a dwi/dui can be charged when zero evidence is given for it.
While that could be the case all she would have had to do was take a Breathalyzer test
what an amazing son! she’s so lucky to have you!
@Lucy Fruge you can believe that she went straight to the er for a blood draw before being booked. They can file any charge they want. It is ultimately up to the prosecutor/DA to pursue those charges.
And I’ll bet your grandkids are really proud of YOU.
What a poor excuse for a grandparent. Wonderful job done by both officers.
I will never understand how some people like her can make it this far in life without ever getting slapped in the face
Who says they haven't?
I would argue...maybe they have been slapped so many times in life its brought them here.

She did nothing wrong
yep great job for not smelling alchohol and not seeing any signs of containers in the vehicle but still illegally arrest someone anyways..
you realize they found out she had alcohol in her AFTER illegally arresting her right? no you dont realize because your blinded by stupidity.. all you boot lickers will get your day or have already got it and just dont have a clue the illegal shit the cops do
This is one grandmother nobody should allow to drive their kids anywhere and shouldn’t be allowed to drive at all. She doesn’t know which way is up let alone be competent to drive a vehicle.
@@sharedknowledge6640 ya you say that in hindsight.. but regardless of that im sure youd love it if stop and frisk was in every county in every state wouldnt you
My mother was an alcoholic and psychopathic. She mentally tortured me as a child, and I would hide in the back of her vehicle when she’d go out drinking to try and protect her still. I tried to fight many men off of her and was forced to a couch one night by grown men while they did whatever they wanted in the next room. I would sometimes drive her to work because she was still drunk. She was a teacher and I went to the same school. My entire family failed me as a child as nothing was ever done about it.
This is worse on those kids than many can imagine.
I ended up addicted to drugs by the age of 15. I dropped out of high school at freshman year. I decided to clean my life up and work hard. It took 15 years but I’ve completed my masters degree and in a therapist today that worlds with abused kids.
I have no sympathy for anyone who does this with children. None.
She is definitely impaired behind the wheel. Her own speech and demeanor proves the point why she was a concern for the cops. She couldn’t even formulate the response of where she lives!!! Lord have mercy!!!!
What if she's in the beginning stages of having dementia? All the signs of dementia are there.
reminds me exactly of joe biden.

Both of the officers were very kind not to jump to conclusions by asking about her health 1st.

She has no idea how lucky she was to be given the choice to get someone to pick her & the kids up but she blew it.
At first I thought she was having a stroke.
Police officers like this gentlemen deserve an enormous raise!!!!!!!!!
The cop gave her every chance to say it’s a medical emergency
Then they’d take her into the hospital and take her blood….I think you know the rest
People with dementia don’t know they are having a medical emergency. Have you ever dealt with someone who has dementia they turn on a dime nice one second mean the next.

I think they needed to take her to the hospital to be checked out. She was having mental or health issues I think. She said she hadn't taken her medications that day. The police never asked her what kinds of medications she was on. Is she a diabetic? Was she low on glucose?
@@MissX905 who cares lmao she was drunk she could have killed a family
Possibly, but they got her off the road @ least. And props to citizens for ratting her out..
Drunk drivers come in all shapes, sizes. ages, and backgrounds.
I honestly thought she sounded like some dementia was kicking in. The officer was so patient with her wow!
Yes, this is what I got from her to. One day, most of us will become to old to drive. Or dementia can start showing and make you unable to drive. Dementia can make a person appear bad tempered to. It did not say anything about her having drunken alcohol in the report.
Yes, or unsufficient blood flow at least.
It is Wernicke Korsakoff Syndrome. Also known as wet brain in chronic alcoholics.
I think she needed an ambulance.
Very reminiscent of my mother, organic senility, vascular dementia frequent episodes of mini strokes, she was just as nasty, foul, and aggressive coupled with paranoia, it only got worse from there, we stopped her ability to drive after she crashed my fiancée car in a parking lot
This cop was outstanding. Props to him. My grandma made cookies, loved and kissed us. This one says "Whatever". LOL. Great job lady. She turned that "angry" switch on pretty quickly I will say. I'll bet she's a really happy drunk. Not trying to make light of the situation, and those poor kids. Maybe this will help her get the help she needs.
"... whatever."
Hey, as long as shes laughing as she drives over your crumpled body.....whatever huh?😂
I've noticed the past 15 years, Grandmas have changed. Now they go to WalMart with their fuzzy slippers on, greasy hair, and sloppy sweatshirts. When they have their grandchildren with them half the time they're screaming at them, and the other half they're putting up with outrageous behavior from said grandchildren and smiling "helplessly".
I've determined not to be "that" grandma.
@Omar Rodriguez .....yeah - my granny made ROAD APPLES......
@@kedeglow2743 Perhaps because their children are using them as free daycare. I don't think there is any excuse to drink while looking after kids, ot to shout at them, but their retirements are being taken away from them with childcare. There is also no excuse for wearing pj's in public. That's the real crime here!
I sometimes wonder how people like her have made it this far... without someone knocking her senseless.

@@leah2670 exactly. Let’s not jump to conclusions.
She has an addiction to alcohol. It’s called Substance Use Disorder. Lots of people suffer from it.
RBT, I agree. Even hanging out with their Grandma alone seems dangerous. Bad parenting skills.
You think they just came and handed the kids over to drunk grandma? Why would you not assume she just came and picked them up that morning when she was sober? Maybe she has had them for a couple days and is bringing them home. You don't have any idea.
Don't immediately assume they knew all along. It's not that unusual for families to be unaware of their loved one's addiction. I didn't know my dad was an alcoholic until he quit drinking.
I bet his mama IS so proud of him. I am too!
My husband has a saying...."just bc they're old doesn't mean they're nice" 😂
True!!😂😂
Isn't she just a bright ray of sunshine.
As you are driving down the road, you have no idea who is around you. That is why you should always pay attention to what is going on around you. When I come to an intersection and somebody is making a left turn towards me, I watch their eyes to see what they are looking at. Driving a motorcycle will teach you that in a hurry, but being in a car is the same thing. It only takes a second to ruin your day. The roads are full of people like her in this video. Watch for them.
Preach, brother. Gotta keep that head on a swivel. I got bumped by a car on my bicycle, prob going like 5 mph, but bounced my head off the pavement and ended up with a brain bleed and a fractured hip. Cars are scary, 3-4000 lbs moving faster than any animal alive, people take it for granted bc we've been around em all our lives, but that's like 2 elephants strapped on top of each other outrunning a cheetah.
I can't tell you how many times people have pulled out from a parking lot at a store and not even look left when turning out. Usually it's women. Not even kidding. They'll be maybe 10-20 ft away from me and I have to slam on my brakes. It's ridiculous how oblivious people can be. They have the IQ of a donkey. Throughout all of my years, it seems to be that men are typically really aggressive on the road while women are just oblivious and ignorant.
I was grateful that I got to go through the same defensive driving course our county deputies use way back when I went took EMT\Paramedic classes. It taught me so much that I still use today.

I drove a bike for over 30 years and glad that I don't ride anymore. Nowadays, between the geezers, the pot heads, and young chicks texting and fixing their make up, you don't stand a chance.
I love how the cop clearly explains when and where she was driving poorly. Usually they just say “the reason I stopped you is for unusual driving” or some shit like that
well thats cus she kept disagreeing with them
Great officers very polite and concerned
She was fine with the first officer. She probably figured that she could sweet talk her way out of it with him. But she probably sensed that the second officer was strictly business and that is why she turned all nasty on him. She realized that the gig was up and let her real self come through.
The second officer was a DUI cop. That’s why the first cop told him to go ahead on his stop and check her out. They live , breathe Dui’s all day or night then go to court all day testifying against them. So they know their stuff. That’s why he backed this guy up. He heard the radio and thought” maybe alcohol or drugs are involved).. my husband was aDui, DRE(drug recognition Expert) for 35 years in our big city and saw things like this of all ages. A lot of cops were ready to let a very impaired person drive home till he tested them which is crazy because if she wrecked and killed her grandkids or some other innocent person it would be on the police dept hands because they let her go.

Agree!
I get a strange satisfaction from seeing drunk women drivers finally being held accountable for their actions after decades of being allowed to flirt or cry their way out of being arrested for DUI, but this is not alcohol. I think the officer's missed the signs of dementia that this woman is exhibiting. I don't know what the legal limits are on personal medical enquiries, but they should have attempted to find out what her medications were for and if she has ever been advised by a medical professional not to drive a vehicle. I could be wrong, but I think anyone working with the elderly will recognize dementia, and possibly Alzheimer's in this woman. Either way she has to be taken off the road, for her sake and others.
For those condemning her for being "mean", imagine through no fault of your own, losing the ability to care for yourself and those around you little by little every day...losing your independence and then losing the people you love because you can't even recognize them. Sad.
@1966johnnywayne I agree. I had a parent with alzheimers and it could transform them from a lovely person into someone unrecognisable in the space of seconds. I think the issue with these videos is that we are making judgements on people and situations without knowing all the facts or background. Not saying she should have been driving as clearly she shouldn't have been but I would have hated to have seen my parent's worse moments of confusion and distress played out for strangers on the Internet.

Plus she was very rude and insulting to the second officer and in front of her grandchildren too. I hope the kids don't grow up to behave like her ! I think the woman is either drunk or has dementia or both ! I'm glad she was arrested and I hope the children's parents prevent her from driving them anywhere ever again.
Astonished? I'm not this and worse happens all the time
My coworker pulled a dwi on Memorial Day and the dude he pulled blew a .36 and had his 5 year old kids in the back seat.
@@byah160 A younger person should know better but with this grandmother she came from an era where drunk driving was perfectly acceptable and in most states perfectly legal. She has probably been driving drunk with kids in her car for the past 65 years.
Oh God.... I am soooo sorry that you have to deal with these kinds of lost in mind people every day!!!
She's drunk or high. Lost in mind sounds like you're making an excuse for her.
@Kasey Migliaccio Yeah, it really was so judgmental of me, especially with limited info. She seemed evil to be.
This makes me glad I grew up with non-drinkers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, all teetotalers. Always thought they were uncool, but it’s way better than dealing with these kinds of messes.
I loved how she brushed her hair before getting out of the car.
Drunk AF
Wanted to look her best for the upcoming mugshot.
Can't say i loved how she endangered her grandchildren's lives with piss poor decision making
As someone who's had to jump out of the car in PJs in public before when I was just toting grandkids... brushing back your old lady hair ain't gonna help. Own the PJs and bare feet look. And don't be an ass towards the cops doing their jobs.
nothing to love about brushing hair while in the prosses off ki**ing 2 minors...
Absolutely unreal! If those my kids, I would NEVER let them go with my mother again. My kids are precious cargo.
those words, "precious cargo" 🤮
These OFFICERS were so overly nice, respectable, and professionals!!! Granny is HAMMERED!!
Breathalyzer came up negative. Try actually watching the video
@@GravelordNEEToWhere in the video does it say that?
@@livingstone8347 3:03 “Nothing on the breath”
@@GravelordNEETo That wasn't a breathalyser, the officer couldn't smell alcohol from where he was standing.
@livingstone8347 The woman struggled to even remember where she lived. She shouldn't be driving drunk or not.
Ironically enough grandpa is at the gentleman’s club for early bird drinks.
And grandma was pissed off that she had to babysit. Not every grandparent is grandparent material.
This completely devastated me. The Police were so calm. Those poor grandchildren.
lol. come on. devastated?
@@vhehn ok not devastated, disgusted with her behavior. Feel horrible for the grandkids and was thankful the cops were so calm.
“I don’t want this man involved with me at all…”
Trust me, he doesn’t want to be “involved” with you whatsoever 🤣🤮😷
Not only did she get 2 felony child abuse charges and 2 dui w minor in car,but if she is getting any public assistance or if she is getting paid for child care that could be effected. What a disgrace!
God bless those officers. Great job guys.
Sadly, this seems more like indicators of Dementia or Alzheimer's. My mother's diagnosis came after she left the scene of a small fender bender and continued on to the gym with her best girlfriend. I was blessed to have been her caregiver but man lemme tell ya... What a ride! Thank goodness these officers recognized something was wrong and remained patient. I hope this woman's loved ones have found her the amazing patient kind care she deserves. ❤
Wrong!!
She’s a mean drunk. Sad but true.
If that's dementia or Alzheimer's, the best her family could do is take away her car keys. She'll be off the road now, having refused to do sobriety tests. Better for the safety of everyone.
@@lr8607my mother made her own decision to stop driving when she started experiencing dementia symptoms. She was so good with that, realizing her limitations as she got older
Then how do you account for the fact that she was charged with a DUI? Blood or breath tests are irrefutable
Can you imagine having this lady as your grandmother?
I thought of that the minute she said: "This is MY conversation and you REALLY have to stay out of it." (07:11) Nasty.
Those poor kids!
Well that's a first! She should be glad though that she was stopped and she wasn't involved in a accident and the police treated her fine, she sure is a grouchy old thing 🤗🖤💙❤️
Just think.....the grandkids watching this are afraid to go anywhere with her now.
@@strangerous1313 yeah and they should be afraid she could have killed them.
@@sandib4234 Yeah based on a assumption she was drunk, yet she has not been convicted of DUI. Just charged.
So we see you like to assume. Sign of ignorance.
@@SooSmokie Poor Poor Jon, unable to accept reality. 😢 old people drink and get CONVICTED of DUI.
She's a drunk old thing. Drunk people drunk or high.
Can someone explain the child abuse felony charge please? The DUI with a minor in the vehicle is self-explanatory.
Hard to believe she made it this far in life.
Billions do
Try compassion. This lady was diagnosed w alzheimers shortly after this.
Her children would have noticed something was wrong before she was diagnosed. My father had been behaving weirdly and forgetting things and by the time we got the diagnosis we already knew in the family. They should be ashamed.
HOW DARE SHE endanger those children like that!
Yeah, I'm sure his mama is proud of him. Both officers' moms are probably very proud of them. They handled this really well. I wouldn't have had the patience for that old bat endangering those kids that way. You can tell she's not good to them by the way she talks to them. Poor kids.
This videos really open your mind to how many unsafe drivers there is out there. People think because alcohol is legal its okay to abuse. Alcohol shouldn't be advertised everywhere like its Pepsi or Gatorade
What a nice lady. I bet she has raised nice children who are productive members of society.
Gotta give so many props to these officers who were super cool to her, gave her all the benefit of the doubt before even thinking she was under the influence. But also how damn sad for thos kids, trying to help her answer questions 😢
What a great example she’s setting for her grandchildren.
This looks to me more like someone in cognitive decline rather than drunk. My mum was like this during the last few years of her life. She could go from quiet and not finding her words, to really angry, insulting and belligerent, then tears as she was convinced someone was trying to kill her to not knowing who I or my son was to going back to being, seemingly, completely fine. Time of day, weather and how hydrated she all played a part, but you never knew from moment to moment which version of her you were going to get. I guess all the people on here who just assume that it has to be alcohol even though the police stated they didn't see any signs are lucky they can be so judgemental as they've not had the experience of someone they love going through cognitive decline, and trust me, the level of insults and vitriol on display here is nothing.
I thought the same. - Exactly.
whatever the reason, she put her grandchildren at risk, and that is unacceptable.
honestly, it looked more like she was trying to talk her way out of a ticket and got angry when she realized she couldn't.
it may not be alcohol or mental decline due to age.
it may just be a selfish, entitled person getting caught in the act.
@@D.Whitman-hd5cs I thought the same thing
Hi tech…yes she needs to be in assisting living ….aids/ nurses could help her so much for her health&well being
Agreed. Seems like she was suffering a stroke.
The officers explained everything clearly and calmly and showed concern for health and safety, which is refreshing.They were professional despite the woman change in mood.
