Aside from lighting firecrackers, getting drunk to celebrate the New Year is dangerous.
Police in Evansville, Indiana stopped the car driven by Alexandria Broster, 32, after they saw it run a red light and swerving at 11 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.
Officers had no choice but to take Broster to jail after she pulled over and they found a child sleeping in the back seat.
The drunken mother admitted to drinking and she failed a sobriety test, Live Five News reports.
Meanwhile, an officer at the Leonard Cheelo police station in Lusaka, Zambia was also arrested for a drunken act on New Year’s Eve.
Police spokesperson Rae Hamoonga said Detective Inspector Titus Phiri was in a state of intoxication when he forcibly seized the cell keys from Constable Serah Banda, BBC reports.
“Subsequently, detective inspector Phiri unlocked both the male and female cells and told the detainees to leave, saying they were free to cross over into the new year,” Hamoonga said, according to BBC.
Thirteen of the 15 detainees accused of assault, robbery and burglary fled the jail and are now being hunted by police.
Phiri also left the station but was later arrested.
