St. Paul, Minnesota (The Weekly Vice) -- A woman leads cops on a low speed chase from White Castle to McDonalds, where she then places an order for a Big N' Tasty Value Meal.
With patrol car lights flashing and sirens blaring, police say 26-year-old Erica Toy Marie Ballard ignored their orders to stop. Instead, she drove to a McDonald's drive-thru and placed an order of her own.
Authorities say they spotted Ballard's vehicle speeding out of a White Castle parking lot without it's headlights on at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Ballard then allegedly ran through a red light and failed to use turn signals.
By this time, police were behind her, first with flashing lights and eventually turning on emergency sirens which was also ignored.
Ballard then allegedly pulled into a McDonald's drive thru with officers still behind her. She had barely received her order when authorities took her into custody on suspicion of DUI.
Ballard was charged with 4th-degree driving while impaired, refusing to take a chemical test and driving on a revoked license. Police did obtain Ballard's BAC which was .133%. The state's legal limit is .08%
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
Ballard now disputes pretty much everything in the police report and the officer's account of what happened.
First she claims that she wasn't at a White Castle, she was instead at a bar. Yep, that will help your case Miss Ballard!
Next she claims she only reeked of alcohol because a friend threw a drink on her. What a horrible waste of good alcohol! Nice friend btw.
She then disputed the results of the BAC test, stating that she only had 3 or 4 drinks. Ballard, you forgot about the drink that was thrown on you....doesn't that make 5?
In an interview with local press, she told a reporter that she didn't pull over because "I thought they were fixing to mess with me...I was fixing to get something to eat." Correction, you were fixing to warm a lumpy mattress in the county jail. Enjoy your stay and many happy returns!

I'd throw a drink on her two. She seems mouthy and dumb to me
lol and the responses to her statements. And yes, I do believe throwing a drink on her makes 5. Since she's trying to be all technical and all. argumentative people like that irritate me
Those lips look like they were stung with a wasp and then hammered with a mallot.
