Female Driver Charged with 5th Offense DUI

Newark, DE - The Delaware State Police arrested a Wilmington woman yesterday afternoon and charged her with her 5th offense DUI.

The incident occurred around 1:05 p.m. Friday April 3, 2015, as a trooper on patrol observed a red Ford Focus traveling northbound on Harmony Road approaching Green Ridge Road. The intersection is controlled by a traffic light, and at the time, the northbound light was red. The Focus continued through the red light without stopping and was immediately pulled over by the trooper who was following directly behind the vehicle. Ann M. Baker, 54 of Wilmington, was the lone occupant of the Ford and an odor of alcohol was detected. A DUI investigation ensued and Baker was subsequently transported back to Troop 6 where an inquiry into her driving record revealed four previous DUI convictions (05/30/87, 10/11/02, 06/17/04, and 07/16/12); this arrest would make #5.

Ann Baker was charged with 5th Offense Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Driving While Suspended or Revoked, Failure to Have Insurance in Possession, Expired Tags, and Failure to Stop at a Red Light. She was arraigned a JP11 and released after posting $10,000.00 secured bond.

Lovely! What is so hard about not driving after drinking. Nothing! If I am driving not ONE drop of alcohol even so much as touches my lips. This has been my rule for over 30 years now and it should be EVERYONE's rule and I didn't make this rule because of a drunk driving charge or any other traffic infraction.
It's called personal responsibility which is a sign of a mature adult, a lost concept anymore.

Okay. So it's DWI #5. The first four didn't keep her off the road. How will #5 be different?
