Drunk Florida Woman Passed Out At McDonald’s Drive Thru Window

drunk Florida Woman Passed Out At McDonalds

Tiffany McLain was sooooo close to getting her late night snack, but just couldn't keep it together. The drunk Florida woman passed out at the drive thru window at an Apollo Beach, Florida McDonald's.

Time stamp from the deputy's body cam shows that officers approached a blue car at 1:45 am Thursday morning. The car was stopped just after the drive thru window at the McDonald's. When the officer approached the driver's side door, the window was still rolled down. She had probably done what we all do after visiting the drive thru - pull forward and check to make sure they got the order right. But unfortunately for Tiffany, that was as far as she got.

She was completely out of it. Even tried to drive away after the cops woke her. That Florida woman passed out before she even got to those fries. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested Tiffany McLain, 40, for DUI. McLain provided breath samples of 0.190 and 0.195. McLain has been arrested for DUI previously, and she was driving on a suspended license. "This type of irresponsibility infuriates me," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "She could have seriously injured others with her ridiculous decision to get behind the wheel intoxicated. I commend our deputies for their swift handling of this potentially dangerous interaction."

What's With All The Blue Cars Lately?

Allow me to go on a tangent. Seeing Tiffany's blue car has got me thinking. It's always been that most cars in Florida are white. Makes sense, it's hot here. So I was able to buy a blue car from a Naples, Florida dealership for an amazing price. I wasn't looking for a blue car, but I couldn't turn down the price. And, it's a really pretty car.

Since then, my neighbor kid bought a blue car. Then his parents bought a blue SUV. Now my neighbor across the street bought a blue convertible. Everyone around me is bringing home blue cars. Is this happening everywhere in Florida, because I'll warn you - this car gets HOT if you park it in the sun. Sorry, a Florida woman passed out in a blue car and it started me thinking. Also, it's Friday and my mind is drifting. Have a great weekend everyone, and don't be like Tiffany. Use Uber Eats or something when you been drinking and need a some nuggets.

5 Southwest Florida Events To Join This Weekend

You might be excited that football season is finally in full force. But there are also lots of things going on if your team is not in action, or football is not your thing. Check out these 5 Southwest Florida events to join this weekend.

The entire region is getting ready to mark the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Ian. Fort Myers Beach was one of the hardest hit spots in the state. Only a handful of hotels have reopened. It's been slow going for many restaurants and businesses to find their footing as well.

One weekend event hopes to help that. It's Revive The Vibe Fest. The second annual event is meant to bring people together and support beach businesses. Not to mention entertain you.
