Drunk, purple and pulled over on a scooter in Abbotsford

By

ABBOTSFORD (NEWS1130) – You are bound to attract some attention if you are painted purple and whizzing past a cop car on a scooter.

An Abbotsford woman discovered this the hard way after being arrested for driving drunk through city streets yesterday afternoon.

It landed her in the drunk tank and Constable Ian Macdonald is hoping the costume had something to do with Halloween.

“Maybe she was test driving her Halloween costume? But it is a little bit of a chicken or the egg situation… we don’t know if the liquor or the paint came first.”

It sounds amusing but  Macdonald says it really is not because the woman in her 30’s couldn’t stand up straight and kept slurring her words.

She was wearing a helmet, but she wasn’t pleased about being issued a roadside suspension though.

“As far as the paint is concerned, we are not talking about a light dusting…this was a pretty thick coat of purple paint.”

She was taken in to the detachment to sleep off her drunken day out on the town.
