A woman crashed her SUV after spending the day eating waffles and drinking wine, the woman was so intoxicated that it caused a 7-11 clerk to snatch the keys away as she attempted to buy more wine.
According to the report in the Orlando Sentinel a pedestrian had to jump to safety as the Orlando woman's black GMC Envoy barreled into the parking lot and slammed into a concrete pole just steps from the store shortly after 11 p.m. Monday.
Then Cox took her child and wobbled away from the 7-Eleven to Dexter's of Thornton Park to throw up, according to police.
Cox, 30, was booked into the Orange County Jail early Tuesday on charges of DUI while accompanied by a minor, leaving the scene of accident with property damage, child neglect and refusal to submit to a DUI test.
A police officer said in a report that Cox was unaware of the extensive damage to her SUV. The right front headlight was cracked and the right front bumper was pushed in.
"I didn't hit anything,'' an officer quoted Cox as saying. "My car is fine."
She reeked of alcohol and failed field-sobriety tests, including a walk-and-turn exercise and the one-leg stand, police said.
She was placed under arrest and taken to the county's DUI center, where she refused to have her breath tested, police said.
