This is just to interesting to pass up:
A daughter of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was arrested Monday night in Wheaton and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and child endangerment, Wheaton Deputy Police Chief Thomas Meloni said.
Ann S. Banaszewski, 45, was stopped about 7:25 p.m. in a 1996 Ford Econoline van near Gamon Road and Longfellow Drive after a citizen reported a possible drunken driver was at the McDonald’s restaurant near there, Meloni said.
Three of Banaszewski’s “small children” were in the van with her at the time, leading to the child endangerment charge, Meloni said. He would not disclose their ages. Meloni would also not disclose details of her alleged intoxication, but said she submitted to a field sobriety test, though he could not disclose its outcome.
So this is family values – getting drunk and driving around with the kids? I wonder how Scalia feels about this?
It used to be that this would have been a “non story”, but in today’s climate it is worth pointing out. If this happened to anyone on the left then Dobson along with all the wingnuts would be calling stricter drunk driving laws.
