Report: Pensacola woman charged with DUI after crashing car with young children inside

I wonder who reported Halana missing and when? It's a rental car, isn't there a GPS in it?

 

[JurassicParker]

Maybe a hijacking gone wrong? Was she on vacation or visiting someone? Car thief’s would disengage any tracking system. Smart ones.

Given her record, I'm more inclined to think she took off with the car.

Don't rental cars have tracking devices?

Maybe so the petitioner can handle any financial or property matters.

Was she at the hotel with anyone else or was she alone? Very odd for sure. They need to check the side of the roads she would have traveled on when leaving the hotel. This is Florida afterall..... Missing Human + Missing Car = Water

I wonder if this is Gma taking charge of the Gkids.

The paternal grandmother has had the children for over a year. This is her sister trying to salvage what is left of her life and trust fund im assuming.

This would be the second time she’s been released and skipped town….

I’m wondering how she rented a car with that DUI. Guess she got her license back somehow....

 

[JurassicParker]

If it's her first DUI then they wouldn't have taken her DL away. Cost her a lot of money, yes.

This seems the most likely to me. History of DUIs and accidents, legal woes.

There are only a couple of places she could have gone off the road unnoticed on US 98. The swampy patch in Navarre and the Reserve and National Seashore at Gulf Breeze. Anywhere else would have been noticed by now.

I wonder if she was trying to get the kids back.

Looked at her arrest record.
05/27/21 - Failure to appear

11/08/20 - Assault or battery of law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical care providers, public transit employees or agents, or other specified officers

07/27/20 - DUI

05/10/20 - Criminal use of personal identification information.

Really? Guess Florida is more forgiving than some of the other southern states. First offense is loss of license for one year. Even with a clean record. Car insurance monthly costs were more than a car payment.

I live in Texas. I also live in the #1 county in the state for alcohol related deaths. We are waaay too lenient on the DUI/DWI front. They don't take your drivers license. You sit in the drunk tank and then end up paying close to $2ok after all is said and done.

This is another on a long list of reasons everybody else hates driving in Texas . I did always wonder how Texas was making up for the lack of income tax revenue.

Yes. It is very frustrating. But even if you take the drivers license away it doesn't stop them from getting behind the wheel of a car. If they don't care about what they're doing when it's legal, I doubt they care when it isn't. Alcoholism/Addiction doesn't care. Not that everyone who drinks is an alcoholic but while drinking you aren't exactly thinking clearly. There are lots of things people shouldn't do but if they really want to do it, they will find a way.
