Back in 2012, Colleen Cudney was
convicted for drunken driving. As part of her punishment, she was put on
probation, and so on the day after St. Patrick’s Day, the 22-year-old
was ordered to come to her Westland, Michigan probation office for a
random breathalyzer test. She managed to pass it and celebratedthe good
news on Facebook. That Facebook post, as WDIV Local 4 News reports, was a pretty stupid move.
Investigators told WDIV she posted, “Buzz killer for me, I had to
breatalyze this morning and I drank yesterday but I passed thank god lol
my dumba**." There’s There are a lot of problems with this status update. Why don’t we go over them? (Note: Notice how I criticized her writing and then proceeded to make a mistake myself? Karma.)
- It’s “buzzkill,” not “buzz killer.”
- I know you meant “breathalyze,” but that isn’t a word. (I
stand corrected, because it's pointed out breathalyze IS a word. I
shouldn't have been so quick to be smarmy. This was a rough stretch for
me, huh?)
- OH AND YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE DRINKING BECAUSE YOU WERE CONVICTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING.
Cudney’s post gained the attention of a Westland police officer, who
then notified the probation office. Did the probation office then say
something like, “Oh well, she got us. She wins this round”? Nope. They
called her up and told Colleen they wanted her to take a urine test,
something that would detect whether she had had alcohol in the previous
80 hours. Colleen then…hung up on the probation officer. You’re not
supposed to do that.
Hanging up the phone on the probation official was a probation
violation. And to think, her probation was set to end in a few weeks.
Colleen Cudney will be back in court on April 1 for a probation hearing
and faces up to 3 months in jail.
