Get an Apartment, Not a DUI

January 20th, 2009 by kevin

This isn’t funny, but it does symbolize the importance of an Atlanta-area apartment, or at least a place to stay if you’ve been playing too much beer pong.

From Red and Black, the University of Georgia’s independent newspaper.

University student Jordan Ashley Denney, 20, of Marietta, fell asleep at a stop sign at the intersection of Woodland Hills and South Milledge early Sunday.

Denney was charged with DUI and underage possession of alcohol between 1:49 and 2:14 a.m.

According to the police report:

The arresting officer, Davis, approached the stopped vehicle to see Denney “laid over the center console, phone in hand, passed out.”

As Davis reached into the vehicle to put it in park and turn off the ignition, Denney was unaware of Davis’ presence.

After minutes of shaking and yelling in Davis’ unsuccessful attempt to rouse the sleeping offender, the cold woke the confused Denney.

Denney was unaware of where she was, and refused both a field sobriety and breath test. Upon her refusal, Denney was handcuffed.

As Davis and Denney waited on the tow truck for Denney’s Lexus, Denney confessed that she was at a friend’s house playing beer pong. She pleaded the officer to let her go with a warning.

Denney was taken to the Clarke County jail.
