Former drunk driving advocate has 'MADD' issues
Meet Debra Oberlin, a mild-mannered woman who is the former president of a defunct chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) in the area.
Recently, Oberlin would have liked to remove that distinction from her resume as she was taken off to the pokey in handcuffs for... wait for it... D.U.I.
Classy.
According to the Gainesville Sun, an officer spotted Oberlin driving erratically, swerving and crossing lanes, an arrest report states. She was pulled over, and the officer reported that Oberlin smelled of alcohol and had watery, bloodshot and dilated eyes. The report also states that Oberlin told the officer she had four beers.
To make matters worse, for her field sobriety test, she blew a toxic and ethyl-induced .234 and .239 on breath alcohol tests. Florida's legal limit for driving is .08.
Did I mention, classy?
In other news, Gainesville's MADD chapter existed for years in the 1990s before closing in 1996 because of lack of financial support.
My guess is because Oberlin was taking money from the till to go to the local convenience store for some ripple, Thunderbird and pork rinds.
