MASON CITY – A Mason City woman was caught drunk driving twice this past August – then showed up to serve her jail sentence intoxicated, police say.
Amy Marie Moore, age 41 of Mason City, was caught drunk driving on Friday, August 18. At about 6:40 PM that evening, Mason City police were called to the area of Mills Fleet Farm, 3200 4th Street SW. They were joined by a Cerro Gordo deputy. After an investigation, officers located the vehicle in question and the driver, Moore. As a result, she was arrested for operating while intoxicated.
Moore was caught again by Mason City police on August 24.
Moore eventually pled guilty to two counts of first-offense operating while intoxicated. She was sentenced to 365 days in jail with all but 5 days suspended – on both counts. She must serve 10 days, total. She must also pay $1,797.50 and $1,797.50 in fines and court fees for both crimes.
Moore reported to the county jail to serve her sentence on the afternoon of Friday, October 27. Cerro Gordo law enforcement say she was intoxicated and as a result, she was charged with public intoxication.
True – would have been cheaper and wiser to send her to rehab – but then again the city would’nt collect the fines – PS – Never will anyway.
And you know that, how.
That the poor women is suffering from alcoholism is apparent. Just keep piling on monetary angle to solve the problem and the abuse will continue. I wonder if they have a chapel in that hell hole. Not that it really matters but any encouragement is a step in the right direction
No they don’t. They are about punishment, not rehabilitation.
My guess is this young lady has an alcohol issue and may in need of some help!
