Woman With DUI Arrests Told Not to Drive

LA MESA, Calif. (AP) - A judge ordered a woman arrested five times in six months on suspicion of drunken driving, including three times in the last month, not to drive after finding out she still had a valid license.

 

"You are not to drive under any circumstances," El Cajon Superior Court Judge Patricia K. Cookson told Tiffany Adamo, 26, during her arraignment.

 

Adamo, of Ramona, pleaded not guilty Wednesday. She was arrested Saturday afternoon in a shopping center parking lot of this east San Diego suburb after she pinned a 7-year-old boy between her 2000 Toyota Camry and her mother's car, police said. The boy was not seriously hurt.

 

It came three days after the Ramona woman was arrested when police found her passed out behind the wheel and blocking traffic, said La Mesa police Lt. Alan White. It was Adamo's third arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence in the suburb since Sept. 27.

 

The California Highway Patrol and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department have also arrested her on suspicion of driving under the influence.

 

Despite the multiple arrests, Cookson said Adamo had a valid driver's license. The judge said Adamo has had two hearings before the Department of Motor Vehicles, which allowed her to keep her license because she showed that she was taking medication under a doctor's prescription.

 

Cookson granted a prosecution request to increase Adamo's bail from $250,00 to $1 million.

Good thing they got this idiot off the road before she killed someone!

Five DUIs in six months, and all they say is "don't drive?!" What a load of bull! They need to lock her up, or send her to rehab, or something. Saying "don't drive" is barely a slap on the wrist.

In California law if there is an injury involved, even a nosebleed to the driver, it is a felony. I wonder how many of these arrests were felony arrests.
