The competition for "Grandmother of the Year" is heating up and Florida seems to be producing a bumper crop of finalists in 2008. The latest is Brenda Bouschet, 54, of Lake Worth, Florida (that's her "What the f*ck do you want?" mug shot picture at right) who was just minding her own business, driving around the parking lot of a local Publix supermarket Tuesday with her 3-year-old granddaughter, when the police decided to pull her over. Why, was the kid not buckled or something? Actually, was she not only NOT buckled, she wasn't even INSIDE THE CAR. That's right, grandma had her on the roof, although she claims to have been driving at a snails pace and--wait for it--holding onto the kid's leg. What's the big deal officer? Don't you have REAL crimes to investigate? From the police report, it even sounds like she was SOBER when this happened, which otherwise could have been a good excuse for such creative stupidity. About the only explanation Bouschet could give the cops is she wanted the kid to have some fun and get some fresh air . . . a trip to the emergency room was just a bonus, I guess.Here's more from CBS 4:
Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix supermarket Tuesday and arrested 54-year-old Brenda Bouschet, of Lake Worth, after she was spotted driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.
Bouschet told deputies she didn't understand why she was wrong to place the 3-year-old girl on the roof of the car and drive her white 2006 Lexus around the parking lot. Bouschet said she was just giving the child some air and letting her have fun.
Deputies had to explain to her the dangers of letting the child ride on top of the car and even had to explain that the child is required to sit in a car seat.
Bouschet said Thursday she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.
