Tacoma, WA – A Tacoma woman has been arrested multiple times in November for repeated DUIs, prompting local authorities to label her a serious threat to public safety and resulting in $100,000 in warrants being issued against her.
According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, the 46-year-old woman was arrested four times in less than two weeks, beginning with a November 12 incident in which she was found allegedly inhaling nitrous oxide—commonly known as “Whippets”—while nude from the waist down inside her car. Deputies noted she failed all field sobriety tests and was booked into the Pierce County Jail.
Three days later, on November 15, the woman was again arrested by the Fircrest Police Department after allegedly crashing into a power box and taking down a power pole at 44th Street West and Alameda Avenue in Fircrest. Officers discovered additional cans of nitrous oxide in her vehicle. She was booked on charges of DUI and first-degree malicious mischief for infrastructure damage.
On November 20, deputies responded to yet another witness report of the same suspect allegedly slumped over in a car with nitrous oxide cans scattered throughout. The deputy who had arrested her previously took her into custody again for a third DUI.
Despite these arrests, the woman reportedly posted bail each time and was back on the roads within 24 hours. By November 23, she was allegedly involved in a fourth incident in Tacoma, striking a parked car which caused a second vehicle to be damaged. Her car was again totaled.
On November 24, the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office issued two $50,000 DUI warrants, citing the woman as a high-risk danger to the community. Deputies arrested her at her residence on November 26 to ensure she could no longer endanger the public.
