An alcohol monitoring device being worn by a 17 year old girl from DeFuniak Springs (up in the Panhandle) was set off, by

Wait for it.......

Hairspray!

The judge found that the teen's exposure to hairspray at her hair salon job caused the device to detect alcohol, and thus, went off.

The girl was originally arrested for drunk driving. Her horrible decision to drive drunk caused her to run a stop sign and hit a tree, which tragically killed one of her passengers.

Hairspray triggering an alcohol monitoring device.....thanks DeFuniak Springs! Now I've heard everything.

The plot of the movie mirrors what thousands of families do every year---take a summer vacation to Florida!

Story of the Day

One soda lover from Ormond Beach was in for an extra special treat when he found a frog (or a toad) in his can of Diet Pepsi.

Lucky for me, I'm a Coca-Cola girl.

The FDA says a test confirms that the amphibian was in the soda can, but is not sure how it got in there.

A Pepsi spokesperson says Pepsi stands by its manufacturing process and that the speed of the lines that produce the soda cans make 1,250 cans a minute--a speed too fast for a foreign object to get inside.

The frog finder is certain that the animal was in the can before he opened it.

Something tells me this guy is a phony and wants to spend some Pepsi money!

Story of the Day

This story makes me sad, not because it involves drunk driving, but because it involves wasted fast food!

A woman in Crestview was arrested after parking her car at the end of a Whataburger drive-thru lane and passing out over a half eaten burger and french fries.

Luckily cops arrived and charged her with her 5th DUI.

She's a freakin' idiot!

This would have NEVER happened at the In-N-Out drive thru because it's always busy and people would be honking at you something serious. You wouldn't have a chance to pass out!

I happen to really like the title of this new story--you can read more at Woman didn't smell like alcohol, but car smelled like hamburger

And if you recognize the burgers in the photo above, you are awesome!

On a side note, our high school soccer coach was found passed out at the Steak N Shake drive thru!
So, this whole passing out in a drive thru deal isn't that new to me (so sad).
