Believe it or not, this happened at around 6 p.m. on a Tuesday in Cheney, Washington. The child was not injured at all, just to let you know. The lady, a 56-year-old named Wendy A. Clemente, has been charged with first-degree attempted assault, DUI, and first-degree criminal trespass.
I'm guessing, but not sure, that the drunk lady was mad that a kid would be riding a dirt bike in the street. So she started chasing him.
On the sidewalk!
About 20 minutes after she was done chasing the kid on the dirt bike, she allegedly tried to enter a random stranger's home. When police responded to the call from this home, the Karen told them she had noticed some dogs in the backyard and wanted to see if they'd be friends with her own dog, which was in her car.
That's when they decided they should probably charge her with a DUI.
Because this is Washington, she was released without bail the next day. From Seattle Red:
At her first appearance, Spokane County Superior Court Commissioner N. Swennumson released Clemente on her own recognizance and she walked out without posting bond. That follows a pattern that has played out across Washington courts, where defendants facing serious felony charges are sent back into their communities without any financial accountability to ensure they show up for trial.
Stay classy, blue states!
