Woman busted for DUI says big boobs made her fail sobriety test

In the annals of excuses, this one has got to be right up (or is it down?) there with “My dog ate my homework” and “I didn’t know the gun was loaded.”

A Florida woman who was pulled over because of her erratic driving claims she failed a field-sobriety test because of her “big breasts.” New York’s Daily News reports:

Maureen Raymond, 49, of Port St. Lucie, was collared in Jensen Beach on Jan. 29 after cops spotted her speeding and crossing double yellow lines before parking across two spaces at a drugstore.

Raymond had slurred speech, glassy eyes and staggered, a deputy wrote in his report, according to the station. She also warned him before she did any roadside tests.

‘She told me that I needed to understand that she is big-chested and … she is not going to balance well,’ he wrote.

The arrest affidavit notes that Raymond, who will turn 50 this month, had open alcohol containers in her car, which moreover reeked of booze.

But it was boobs, not booze, that she insisted made it difficult for her to walk a straight line. The deputy dutifully noted:

When I told her we were going to do some roadside tasks she told me that I needed to understand that she is big chested and if I asked her to close her eyes and balance she is not going to balance well. She told me ‘Big breast you don’t balance well.’

At one point, Raymond “began to take her clothes off” to prove to the deputy just how large her breasts were, but he stopped her.

Ultimately, she was taken to the Martin County Jail, where she was charged with DUI. She was released the following day on $750 bond.
