A great example of people loving money more than they love other people. I am sorrowfully disappointed.

You actually got off pretty easy for a D.U.I. $3,000 is a comparatively small amount – other counties in California mandate a $10,000-$15,000 fine with mandatory jail time. Some will suspend your license even on the first offense. Not to mention the fact that if you manage to kill someone, even on accident, you can be eligible for the death penalty in California.

Oh, and as far as breathalyzers go, it wouldn’t have mattered what you blew. In California, you can be arrested if the officer feels you are impaired, regardless of your BAC.

Hopefully you’ll be one of the few people that learns from your arrest. Too many have a pattern of this sort of selfish behavior.

Now that I read this piece, I understand why the Daily Bulletin is reporting on Jessica Shekell’s condition improving and completely leaving out the fact that she killed two people and ruined the lives of the families involved.

Lauren, you really are a stupid person and I can’t believe this is the crap we have to read in the school paper.

“I remember that it wasn’t the worst I had been driving under the influence.”

Unreal quote. You deserved some serious punishment, not a slap on the wrist like you got. You could have killed yourself (who cares) or someone else (this is what counts).

Because of people like you and their reckless behavior, lives are upended and families destroyed. Thanks for sharing this story, you are stupid.

it’s gross that you messed with the toilet paper, and even slept on it. Ew.. should’ve just slept kneeling against a wall.

Good post, thanks for sharing. I’m sad though that you regret the the loss of money with no mention of how stupid it is to drive while intoxicated. Stupid not just because you risk your life (do what you want with your life) but stupid because your risk the lives of others. You have no right to do that!
