Drunk Mom Arrested While Driving Kid to School, Stopped to Ask Cop for Directions

The dumbass is strong in this one, but it certainly appears that she can hold her liquor! A .29% BAC . . . first thing in the morning and she's still able to move? That's some drinkin' . . . but probably not a good idea to be drivin'.

Police in Ferndale arrested a mother on a charge of driving drunk after she asked an officer for directions to drop off her 9-year-old son at school.

Dena Ellington, 45, of Birmingham stopped her Land Rover in the parking lot of Taft Education Center at 8:40 a.m. Tuesday to ask for directions to Coolidge Intermediate School, according to Ferndale Police. A Breathalyzer test given after the officer smelled alcohol on her breath registered her blood-alcohol level at .29, more than triple Michigan’s legal limit of .08.

The officer took Ellington, who had no prior drunken driving convictions, to jail while another officer dropped her son off at school.
