In reply to the discussion: Allen West's sauced up wife rounded up for DWI (video released) [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)4. Interesting. I was trying to imagine what the officers were seeing,
and interpreting, from those tests. Not saying she wasn't under the influence, but both balance problems and not following instructions in detail do have common causes other than inebriation. And a grandson having to see grandma being pulled over by the police and the disaster of a famous husband running for governor would be understandable causes for disconbobulation.
Whatever. I despise Allen West, and a wife who shares his views and ill-gotten gains every bit as much. Occurs to me, though, that if her husband was a Democratic candidate we'd all be wondering if it was a setup, regardless of wandering out of her lane and including breathalyzer results.

So she was driving under the influence with a two-year-old child in the backseat?

I thought I saw the charge was enhanced with "minor under 15 in the vehicle"
