A Florida newspaper is reporting that a 17-year-old girl’s alcohol-monitoring device was triggered by continued exposure to hairspray, not consumption of alcohol, a judge ruled Thursday.
The 17 year old in question is on home monitoring after she was arrested (and awaits trial) on charges of “DUI manslaughter and DUI with serious bodily injury" in connection with a Jan. 4 accident that killed 16-year-old Meghan Burkhart-Smith, a fellow student at South Walton High School”, the newspaper reports.
The 17 year old defendant works as a receptionist at a hair salon in Miramar Beach. The court said that the alert was triggered by hairspray, which she was exposed to July 15.
We might be inclined to question the utility of a device manufactured and advertised to courts as a way to monitor DUI defendant’s compliance with no booze prohibitions set forth in bail and probation orders— if they can claim they used hair spray—but its has been a long weekend and we are fresh out of quips.
(However, hypothetically, if one were to own shares in Alcohol Monitoring Systems Inc., one might consider selling.)
