She doesn't appear smart enough for that.
Her future is probably on a stripper pole or a spokesperson for FOX news.

If you weigh less than 150 pounds, you can blow over the limit with just a couple of beers under your belt, which is *not* drunk and *not* buzzed and *not* impaired in any way.

Ms. New Mexico was not drunk. She was just too skinny. A fat girl wouldn't have been arrested. LOL

True, I think that often they kill innocent people -- so she should be glad for the wake up call, she's lucky she isn't behind bars for manslaughter. There is absolutely no need to drink and then get behind the wheel, no need at all. They've been warning about the DWI checkpoints for weeks. Maybe she thought her title of Miss NM would get her a free pass.

Possibly. I remember that we had quite a number of New Mexicans going to Texas Tech in Lubbock--and I thought at the time that they paid out-of-state tuition.

Bordering Counties pay in-state tuition, interior Counties in NM pay a little more than in-state.
