DUI Suspect Flees Police Station And Runs Three Miles To Home

April 30, 2012 at 9:24 am by kniption

Muncie, IN – An Indiana woman suspected of DUI was taken back into custody after police say she fled a police station and ran to her home almost three miles away.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Brandy Star Williams, 31, was arrested early Friday after police officers saw her vehicle hit a curb and exceed the speed limit. She was stopped and a portable breath test measured Williams’ BAC to be 0.188 percent.

Williams was taken to a police station to undergo an official breath test. According to police, while seated and waiting – in handcuffs – next to Muncie police officer Michael Rehfus, Williams “stood up and she bolted out the door.” Rehfus’ report said Williams then “jumped over a railing and fled on foot.” Rehfus and other officers chased Williams on foot, but reportedly lost her about two-tenths of a mile away. Wow. Two-tenths…

“Officers in pursuit. [pant] Suspect now two-tenths of a mile northeast?!? [pant] She’s a freakin’ MACHINE!!! [pant]”

Williams would be located a short time later at her home – nearly three miles from the police station from which she had ‘hurriedly departed.’ She was taken back into custody.

Williams is preliminarily charged with escape from detention, theft, resisting law enforcement, reckless driving and driving while intoxicated. Williams was being held Friday at the Delaware County jail under a $28,500 bond.

Perhaps a work release position could be made available for Williams as a Muncie police fitness trainer. Lemons into lemon custard-filled long johns, people…

Pffffttt…OBVIOUSLY the portable breath test malfunctioned. She ran 3 miles! She was not that drunk! I’m actually thinking perhaps the officers were the drunk ones, “two-tenths of a mile”…yeah…they were drunk. Case closed…

“while seated and waiting – in handcuffs”
Obviously, she went home to get shoes to match the handcuffs.

Sounds like she passed over a chance at a decent athletic career to be a drunkard instead. Actually, there’s no reason why she can’t still be both… If there was a Smashed & Snookered section of the Olympics, I would SO TOTALLY watch it–not just a little here and there, but really, I’d plant myself in front of the T.V for that shit.

In all fairness to the officers, it is hard to jump a hand rail and run while holding a dozen donuts and carrying a spare tire, not to mention trying not to spill hot coffe all over yourself.

Hey, 2/10’s is a long way….that’s like from here to over yonder and maybe back aways. It definitely must have been outta taser range anyways. If she ran OUT of a police station, how long did it take the lard-ass cop to get UP from his desk???

I’m guessing she’s a wily one and/or she was on more than just alcohol. I’m curious as to why she was taken to the Ball State University police holding instead of to the jail. It’s not like it’s soooo far away! It is 1.2 miles from where they took her (and probably more secure) She ran 2 blocks west and 3 blocks north before they lost her. Considering her residence is exactly 2.8 miles west in a *straight* line – she ran closer to 4 miles or more to get home. I’ve seen a lot of the University cops… they’re not vying for Mr. Universe anytime soon – maybe Mr. Dunkin Donuts. Older, heavyset and lazy. Their job is to mainly police the campus – and that campus is relatively calm. That’ll teach ’em. Outrun by a *girl*. haha

As embarrassed as I am to agree, yes dammit, I would watch it as well.
JohnQknowitall
Yeah run, run, run home. That is the last place they will look for you.

Wait… so, drunk off her ass she can jump up, run out of the police station, hop over a barrier, outrun the police chasing her and make it to her home 3 miles away with no problem…. but in a car she can’t manage to turn the steering wheel ever so slightly to miss the fucking sidewalk?? Did she already have the handcuffs on when driving, too or something??
iLLusionS
Damn what is this drunk bitch the bionic woman…She gets mad kudos for jumping a rail while handcuffed and outrunning the po-po…It’s just that she failed in picking her destination. After this is over and they release her maybe she can do the real thing since that was just a practice run!
malq
man when you are at the cop shop and you see the open door, that is pretty tempting. I am trying to decide if I blame her.
Those few minutes of freedom must have felt nice.

Why do people do shit like this? Before she ran, she was just facing a DUI. Now’s she’s got a whole shitstack of charges on top of the DUI. Way to go, dumbfuck.

I can imagine her thought process:
“Stupid criminals *always* run home of all places. That’s such an *obvious* place to go, only an idiot would go there. So now that I’ve demonstrated my craftiness by escaping, surely they’ll overlook it! I’ll run to the place they’d *least expect* me to. Brilliant!”
Okay, seriously… she probably was just thinking about how she’s got more booze back at home.
newstarshipsmell ™
Well thank God for her sake she escaped beyond taser range. We all know what happens when cops use tasers on escaping drunk drivers, right?
curiousalways
great write up Kniption! First real laugh of the day.

The need to tack on the expense of calling out EMS and the fire department to assist the out-of-shape officers, too.
sugarpie
Clearly she missed her calling. Sign her up for the drunken marathon.

It sounds like the cops of Muncie, Indiana have been spending way too much time down at the local Dunkin’ Donuts shop.
pikeman
That would be tricky. I wonder if that is part of their obstacle course when they do their annual physical training qualifications.
“All right, you’re going to hold a cup of hot coffee in one hand, a dozen donuts in the other, and jump a series of railings and fences! Now let’s see it!!”
pikeman
By some of the hefty cops I’ve seen around, probably just enough time to cover two-tenths of a mile.
Two-tenths of a mile? Really? That’s pathetic!
pikeman
Cop 1 “Hey! She’s bolted and is heading down the road! Let’s give chase!”
Cop 2 “What!? Are you crazy!? She’s at least two-tenths of a mile up the road! Go start the squad car, and we’ll catch up to her in due time.” (takes bite of donut)
Cop 1 “Yeah, what the hell was I thinking? That’s way to much work.” (takes bite of donut)
pikeman
Too bad it was in Delaware county, Indiana, instead of the actual state of Delaware, or she could have made it out of state within three miles.
Heather4877
Obviously she’s not the type that chain smokes when she’s drunk…

Thanks for the giggle! 😉

Right? Who the hell knows what 2/10’s of a mile is??? Like 5 thousand something feet divided by 10 and multiply by two and carry the one change into meters and divide by miliseconds….. fuck it…..not very far atall……
pikeman
Actually, the cops were too dumb to round 2/10ths of a mile down to 1/5th of a mile, which is the same fucking thing. About 1/4 of a click, as they said back in ‘Nam, or about 350 or so yards, give or take a few, if you really want to get technical.
Texas Ranger
True enough…but they HAD to use the 2/10’s …sounds alot furthur than 1/5th a mile. Hell, anybody can run a fifth of a mile, or is that drink a fifth per mile?
pikeman
Ha Ha! In their case I think it was eat five donuts every fifth of a mile, or every 2/10ths of a mile, to make it sound twice as far.

You a lot of guys prefer to look huge & do weights than to get on that “faggoty” treadmill. @PetePuma:disqus (ToTheChest).
Most cops tend to go that way IF they ever workout at all.
That “faggoty” treadmill is really good for catching the damned “runners” when your bulked up ass can’t run for one mile & the damned CAMERA GUY can outrun YOU & film them while running behind them the whole way (cops).

I thought about that particular comma pacient (sp??) too. I was thinking that THIS is what it would’ve happened if they hadn’t tasered her.
lizard_spock
Actually I was thinking that at 2/10’s of a mile (LOL! 1/5!) there must have been a Dunkin Donuts and they figured they needed a break.
Zibarro aka Kryssa
Actually – there isn’t. I used the term in my earlier post to make a point about their lack of fitness. There’s been wind of building one for years… but I guess it’s been nixed… and this is probably why! lol. If you need to find a cop (of any variety) in Muncie – just head to the nearest Pizza King. Driving home the other day we saw no less than 3 squad cars parked at the one by the college campus. There’s always at least one there every day. I think Pizza King probably blocks Dunkin’ Donuts efforts at every turn… wouldn’t want to lose their best customers!
How embarrassing for Muncie and the University. *smh*

Lots of fat, out of shape cops on the force, so not shocked they couldn’t catch her on foot.
captaingrumpy
On the TV show “cops” ,some of the officers are soooo fat,I thought they had a fitness standard,but I think not. Also in some of the country stations the female officers are so old they probably draw an age pension as well.
