Heather Ayers, Flees Scene of Drunk Driving Accident, Leaves Daughter, 6, Behind Because "That’s What They Do on COPs."
Another "Mother of the Year" Finalist and this one is no April Fools joke. Heather Ayers, 29, was reportedly involved in a drunk driving incident in Brevard County, Florida Tuesday night and allegedly fled the scene. That's not so unusual, but the fact that she left her 6-year-old daughter--and four other injured people--at the scene where the car had flipped over several times, raised a few eyebrows in court. But even the judge was a bit put off when he found out her reasoning for running: according to the state trooper's notes, Ayers reportedly told him that ". . . she'd been driving around drinking since 5 p.m. with her daughter and ran from the scene because that’s what they do on COPs." COPs, of course, is the long running reality TV show on FOX that shows real police officers doing their jobs, sometimes arresting stupid criminals. Enough said. At right, Heather Ayers mug shot from WFTV.
Here's more on the story from My Fox Orlando:
The Florida Highway Patrol said Heather Ayers, 29 ,was driving North on I-95 just past Wickham Road in Brevard County when she rear-ended the car in front of her. That car flipped several times in the median.
Troopers say three of the four passengers in the first car were ejected. Ayers wound up crossing southbound 95 and slammed into some bushes. Troopers said that's when Ayers jumped and ran leaving the scene and her six year old daughter in the back seat of her car.
She was arrested and made her first court appearance Wednesday. The judge could not believe what was written in the troopers report.
"He smelled a strong odor of alcohol on her breath. She was yelling F-you. get me off this bus.," The judge read aloud from the troopers paper work.
"I was worried about my daughter,” Ayers replied. “She's six”
The judge continued to read more of the trooper’s notes aloud.
"She was drinking at home and had 2 beers because of an argument with her step father. She stated she'd been driving around drinking since 5 p.m. with her daughter and ran from the scene because that’s what they do on Cops."
The arrest makes DUI number two for Ayers. She was convicted on DUI charges in Tennessee three years ago. Between the first and the second DUI offense and the nature of the injuries troopers say she caused Tuesday, the Judge set Ayers bond at $190,000.

I know the facts of this event, and I must say your use of the "thats what they do on cops" statement is really amazingly childish. YOu see she said that to the officer after he had thrown her into the backseat of a car telling her " you killed your daughter" Well I don't know about you, but, I would be a right be snotty too. What also is amazing is the fact she was not drinking, sure she had a drink, but, be damned if she has a DUI charge. The only thing you people do is turn up the hype on any and every little thing. Its damn amazing that she was riding around drinking considering the 4 pack of tilt she had in the TRUNK was indeed open . They exploded when she hit, NONE of the tabs were open. All this really is can be summed up easily. A stressed mother who did not get much sleep for about two days had something bad happen. I feel for the other people in the car. But, I do not condem this women, from your high school level article. Get the facts, not the damn BUZZ words you idiot.
