Woman Arrested for Drunk Driving to Elementary School Playground Mid-Day

This guy passed out at Chuckee Cheese, is that any worse than on a bench outside the bar? No.

(Fox 25/MyFoxBoston.com) - On Monday at approximately 3:42 p.m., Merrimack Police responded to Mastricola Elementary School. They were called concerning the possibility of an intoxicated female on their campus. Police smelled alcohol coming from Holly Bailey, 37, of Merrimack, and noticed signs of impairment. After investigating, Bailey was arrested for OUIL. Police determined that she was too intoxicated to be driving and were informed that she had driven to the school impaired.

This always drives me insane, like who cares where she was driving to?  She was driving drunk in the middle of the day, isn't that bad enough?  But stories like these always get thrown out there, where they were headed, what they were doing, it doesn't matter people.  It wasn't illegal because she was found at an elementary school (just like the dude above isn't in anymore trouble for passing out drunk at a Chuckee Cheeses) it was illegal because she got loaded and drove around at 3 in the afternoon.  Would be the same amount of illegalness if she was sloshed and headed to pick up her dry cleaning.  

It doesn't say anywhere that she's a teacher, doesn't say she's picking up her kids after school (if she was, she's pretty late at 3:45 in the afternoon).  For all we know she was just hammered as shit, felt a bit nostalgic as we all get when we're loaded, and desided to go down to her old hang out on the elementary school playground.  Maybe she wanted one last try at getting the swing to go all the way around the bar.  Who really knows.  The important thing here is she drove drunk and got busted, and that's really all that matters here.
