OMG you have to read this to believe it, you can't make this **** up!

A New York woman ended up showing off her Halloween costume to the police this week after she was arrested for drunk driving while donning “zombie” make-up.
The publically available mugshot taken of 26-year-old Catherine Butler early Saturday is now making waves on the internet because of the woman’s appearance in the picture.





According to KRON News, Butler was busted early Saturday by police while driving through the town of Gates, NY near Rochester without her headlights on. When the cops stopped her vehicle, which reportedly had just left an area party, they saw that their suspect was dressed up like a zombie, complete with face paint and fake scars




Butler was reportedly brought to a local police station and charged with driving while impaired, and then was released into the custody of a friend that picked her up and drove her home. Less than three hours later, however, Butler was back in the hands of the police after an officer stopped her again, this time for swerving down a local road.


According to WFLA-TV, Butler’s blood alcohol level was beyond the legal limit of .08 after both stops—a limit she likely was aware of given that Saturday’s altercations were her third and fourth DWIs, according to local media.


"Two prior driving while impaired convictions and 26 years old and she's still out driving drunk. It's just hard to understand why people continue to do that and the consequences of continuing to do that," Gates Police Chief James Vanbrederode told Rochester’s 13 WHAM News.

I mean I realize this is serious and glad she didn't hurt anyone, but you know this will be with her for the rest of her life and something she will NEVER let down! LMAO!!!

If she's that young, and has that many DUIs already ( and these are just the times she got caught) she needs to be placed in rehab. Against her will if necessary. Sad.

I agree that she needs rehab but "against her will" unfortunately rarely works. Motivation is key. Frankly, I don't recall ever seeing one "against their will" rehab permanently "take" in over my 10yrs working in the field.

But at the very least it gets them off the street a while and gives those who put her there a sense of control.

I've seen maybe three people helped by involuntary rehab, so I get what you are saying. She's just so young that I would prefer rehab over jail. I tend to cut young people some slack because stupidity in the teens and twenties sort of comes with the territory.

What I don't get is how she was arrested and was just released to a friend, especially considering she already has DWIs? Every person I have known that has been arrested for it was put in jail until an arraignment could be set for bail.

Yup, me too and I live in Las Vegas for crying out loud. You get busted for DUI here and your butt will sit in jail until you post bail ( which is set by a judge , and they don't work on weekends )
