Over the 4 of July weekend, on July 3rd, while out of town visiting my children for my Grandson’s 8th Birthday, I was stopping by a police office. It was late, as we had just left our fireworks show & I also stopped for a few minutes to say hi to a friend at a roadside bar that was already closed, however the group of regulars was still sitting at tables outside. It was totally innocent. I had been gone all day to the Waterpark & then the Country Club 4th Celebrations with my grandchildren all day, followedby fireworks. I was exhausted, but felt ok. Clearly a mistake, I should have used better judgment & gone straight home & visited with my friend another time. I had drank 2 wine coolers throughout the day & had 1 drink that night. The office was apparently watching this establishment & followed me when I left, as I was in a convertible. He stated I had stopping at the red light, then turned left through it before the arrow part had changed. I realized right away I must have turned when the main lights turned green & the other traffic took off. It was a clear night & almost no traffic on the road. It was an honest mistake & should have been a traffic violation. The officer assumed I was intoxicated simply due to the time & circumstances. I tried to reason with the office but he wouldn’t budge, & at my horror continued to charge me with a DUI, & took me to jail. It was like being in hell. Completely devastating! I am humiliated & still in shock, my happy family holiday ruined by my bad judgement.
I desperately need prayer for my hurting heart, for my family’s understanding & for God’s favor & protection as I must find an attorney today. I had to lengthen my stay & will have to go to court on Friday morning, July 9th. I ask for your prayers of peace, protection, grace & forgiveness over me through all of this attack, in Jesus Name
