Checkie Hessel Was *hic* Tipsy
November 14, 2008 by Jaded
Mesa, AZ–Maybe tipsy is putting it a bit lightly…we’ll go with FUBAR. At some point Wednesday afternoon, 33-year-old Checkie Hessel chugged down about a 1/2 pint of vodka. After getting herself sufficiently sloshed, she remembered that she needed to pick up her 4-year-old daughter from day care. With absolutely no thought about endangering the lives of others on the road, not to mention the child she is going to pick up, she hops in her car. She manages to get to the Tots Unlimited Daycare in Mesa at 3:30 in the afternoon. Imagine her surprise when she was told that she had already picked up her daughter, about 4 hours earlier. Wait..what?
While the nice people at Tots Unlimited were explaining to Checkie that she had already picked up her daughter at 11:30, one of Checkie’s neighbors spotted the 4-year-old in question…at home, alone. The little girl was naked from the waist down, dirty, and munching on cheese and Ovaltine powder straight from the container.
After being arrested, Checkie told police that she must have blacked out at home and forgot about her earlier trip to the day care. Oops. What was the child doing while mom was incapacitated? Your guess is as good as mine. Sounds like she was scrounging for a bite to eat.
Checkie is facing charges of child abuse and extreme DUI. In Arizona, the BAC limit is 0.08%. In order to be classified ‘extreme DUI’ the BAC exceeds 0.15% to 0.20%…enough to be in the puking stage of drunk. Unless, of course, constant drinking habits make one resistant to the alcohol. Sentencing for a first time offense can be a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 6 months behind bars.

Mmmm…cheese and raw Ovaltine. Is it weird that I find that appealing?

What a dumb ass. Hey atleast she didnt’ forget to drop her off at daycare and just leave her in the car….I guess. Can you imagine what the workers at the daycare thought????

I think “extreme DUI” makes it sound like a sport.

That had to have been more than a 1/2 pint!
1:11 pm on November 14th, 2008
Whoa….

Wow. Just wow. What a dumbass.
In the 3 1/2 months that I’ve been a mom, I’ve learned something. Sometimes you have to give up things you enjoy in the best interests of your little one. Severe alcohol abuse is one of those things. Anyone who can’t figure that one out after four years qualifies as irreparably stupid.

She’s still trying to figure out what the fuck’s going on…look at that pic.
What a complete douche.

Yay! Another one for Arizona! Watch out Florida….we’re coming up behind you! This chick is an absolute nitwit….I had a feeling the minute I saw her picture that she was a local.

6:02 pm on November 14th, 2008

“Tots Unlimited”?

Can you imagine what the workers at the daycare thought????
LOL, yeah. I teach at a daycare and we actually have a policy not to release our kids to anyone who is obviously under the influence. Thought it was one of those required-by-law things in my state but I could be mistaken. I never imagined my bartending experience would apply at daycare, though.
(Also, hi, I’m new, or at least new to not-lurking. First post, woot!)

Glug, Glug, Glug and it isnt even happy hour yet, I HATE drunks!.
Poor hungry, little girl all dirty and left to fend for her self, eatin cheese and raw ovaltine. While moms passed out 3 sheets to the wind.
She needs to Checkie into rehabie before she killies someone.

“CHECKIE?”

You know what? That is a total blackout. I’ve never been that bad.
But I’ve seen it. Trying to convince someone that they just did something and they don’t remember even if it was 10 min ago.
She needs serious help. It’s not because she’s a dumbshit, shes an alki.

She may be lovely and a wonderful mother, sober. But it doesn’t mean a damn thing until she’s able to get a grip on the alcoholism.
