Does this mean she'll appear on the FU arrest list? Doubt it...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/19/AR2009111902945.html

"Charlene S. Lugar, 77, was stopped shortly after 6:30 p.m. by an officer who noticed smoke coming from her car and damage to the front end of the car as she drove on Old Dominion Drive, Officer Bud Walker said. The officer pulled her over near Dominion Reserve Drive, "developed probable cause that she was intoxicated" and arrested her. He did not release her alleged blood-alcohol content. "

Charlene Lugar should have been the bud walker.

HAHAHAHA IT IS A JOKE

Pulled over at 6:30 PM and she was plastered? Drunk by 6:30 PM? WOW!

Get off work at 5:00 drink for about an hour. I can see how you would be drunk.

Get off work at 5:00 when you are 77 and a Senator's wife? riiiiiiight

Could dementia play a factor?

Sure. Studies have shown a synergistic effect between alcohol and dementia, especially after you've downed 5 Manhattans over the course of an hour.

Lugar is a cool last name.

Happy Hour starts at 4pm at most places so 2 1/2 hours is plenty of time to have some drinks. Plus no where does it say she was plastered, its says she was pulled over for damage to her car and the officer developed probable cause that she was intoxicated so she was arrested for DUI, it mentions no BAC (blood alcohol content). She could have been at .08 and they would still arrest her. Damn it pisses me off when people make assumptions and can't just comment on the known facts.

Smoke coming from her car and not concerned enough to pull over, hit and run; she was plastered. It may not have been in double digits, but for her age and abilities, she was more than compromised, therefore, plastered.

No where does it say that she wasn't concerned. She may have been scared shitless but was only a half mile from home and figured she could make it there with out major damage to her car. I'm not defending the lady for what she did but she has not been judged by a jury of her peers and none of us has all of the info required to pass judgement.

Maybe she took too much cough medicine. Gummers always do that. My grandmother is in her late 90's and she routinely comes down with colds and such in the nursing home where she lives. We stopped bringing her any medication when we saw her drink half a bottle of cough syrup. She was trippy for days after that.

She attempted to flee on foot after the cops found a baggy full of heroin on her and a loaded handgun under the front seat.

That would have been a really stupid decision.

Wow, Happy Hour, you sound like you are lobbying to take her case, don't worry, I am sure she already has a very very good representation. ;)

A 77 year old redhead with not a trace of white hair!?

She had to be delirious from the fumes during the dye job (that was some industrial strength dye job) and was totally unaware of the "check engine" light blinking at her for 5 miles.

Just a guess

The cops have no other DUIs to bag with teddy kennedy being gone

Isn't it dreadful that these are the kind of fools running around out there and running over themselves. The when taking off I mean WTF Fairfax WTF?????????????????????????????????????????????WHAT THE FUCK

sad thing is that a dui is just a class 1 misdemeanor, so as soon as the drunk sobers up, out they go with a future traffic court date. It takes time for the charge to be processed and posted on the open domain VA court website. YET, within hours of her arrest it was reported on the news. Only because it was leaked to the media by a self-serving, boot licking Democrap shill in the hierarchy of the FCPD. The Emperor has no clothes!

You know, Senator Lugar, if you're going to post here, at least be honest and register your user name, "Happy Hour".

As a class-1 misd., she very well could have had a secure bond placed. DUI cases (even 1st offenses) typically do, so I would not imagine that she was released on her own recognizance "once sober" as you suggested.

Secondly, I beleive you are letting your personal political bias cloud your ability to think logically regarding what you refer to as a "leak to the media". Typical tom, dick, or hector gets locked up for DWI, its not news. A senator's wife gets locked up for DWI - it IS news. So unless you consider an official press-release a "leak", place your soapbox elsewhere.

I just manually re-updated the arrest list for last week since Fairfax County PD's Public Information Office had some glitches with it and guess what... she shows up:

"LUGAR ","CHARLENE ","S","077"," 7841","OLD DOMINION ","DR","MCLEAN ","VA","11/18/2009","DWI-ALCOHOL "
"LUGAR ","CHARLENE ","S","077"," 7841","OLD DOMINION ","DR","MCLEAN ","VA","11/18/2009","HIT AND RUN MISD "

I'm honestly not surprised at all considering the likes of Gilbert Arenas or Newt Gingrich.

FAIRFAX, Va. — The wife of Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana has pleaded guilty to drunken driving in a crash with a parked car in Virginia.

The Virginia judge suspended a 30-day jail sentence but in a hearing Friday placed severe restrictions on Charlene Lugar's driver's license for the next year.

The 77-year-old was charged in November after hitting an unattended car in her McLean neighborhood in the Washington suburbs. Police spotted Lugar about two miles away, still behind the wheel while smoke rose from the hood of her Buick.

Court records indicate her blood-alcohol level was 0.11, above the legal limit of 0.08.

The senator's office declined comment. After the arrest, Lugar's office issued a statement saying he and his wife were "deeply sorry."jJihRf07ftObCvDawgovsVOqBcAD9G378O00

I like Sen. Lugar. Don't like most of the GOP members but Dick is A-OK.

That's funny. I heard Lopter said he liked Dick too. Hmmm, come to think of it, I am not sure he meant Sen. Lugar though.
