She was way over legal limit, but at 94 pounds not hard to do.
Outcome, FELONY (so she is fucked for life on finding good work), Lost her license for 5 years. had to spend 30 days in the ohio DUI program as a resident. Had to do DUI classes in both KY and in Ohio cause she was a Ky resident. All this on a first offense, zero record of any kind... I literally took 5 years to finally clear it all up (but she still has the felony on her record now)
I always tell her she would have been better off just killing someone, she would have gotten off easier.

There are similar laws here - keys in the ignition and you in the car = illegal.
The outcome for your wife is crazy though, the cops probably thought they were *saving* the community from her wrath too. Did the cab arrive when the cops were arresting her?
