Illinois Police Catch Alleged Drunk Driver With Tree Stuck In Her Car - Newsy

Roselle police pulled over 54-year-old Maryann Christy after spotting her with a 15-foot tree wedged in her car's grille.
Transcript:
So, we all know no one's a perfect driver. But at least most of us can probably say we've never driven with a 15-foot tree hanging out of the front of our vehicles.
The Roselle Police Department in Illinois just created a Facebook page, and on it, provided one of the strangest "don't drink and drive" lessons yet.
The incident occurred back in January when a good Samaritan reportedly noticed the car and the huge tree embedded in its grille and contacted police. When they caught up with the driver, 54-year-old Maryann Christy, she said she'd hit the tree in a nearby town, but couldn't remember where.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Christy failed a sobriety test and was charged with driving under the influence. She's due in court in April.
No word yet on any destruction of wildlife charges.

Everyone knows that when you hit a tree while drunk the best thing you can do is leaf the scene.
