Worst Mother of the Year award

In this line of work, Sam meets some colorful, quirky and most often deplorable characters. And I get to hear all about them. The drunks probably make for the best stories. Like over the weekend Sam pulled over a girl who was drunk and while trying to give her the field sobriety tests she went on and on about taking off her shoes. Back and forth about them and when she finally took them off, Sam said to place them on the hood of his patrol car. She wouldn't put them on the hood because she didn't want to ruin the paint. She was a hoot to watch on the video.

But then you get the people who are just lowest forms of life on the face of the earth. Sam was late coming home from work the other morning because of a DUI stop and arrest. He had pulled over a woman with a child in the backseat. He smelled alcohol coming from the car. But wait it gets better... or in her case worse. The woman is pregnant! Really lady? Sam said she was over the legal limit when he had stopped her. It's just so sad. She's endangering the lives of her children. Yeah, definitely worst mother of the year right there.
