Martin County Sheriff via nbcmiami.com
Maureen Jane Raymond, 49, was arrested in Jensen Beach on Jan. 29 after she was stopped by cops who responded to a reckless vehicle call, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office report.
A Port St. Lucie woman facing DUI charges told arresting officers her "big boobies" were to blame for her inability to perform sobriety tests, according to an arrest report.
Maureen Jane Raymond, 49, was arrested in Jensen Beach on Jan. 29 after she was stopped by cops who responded to a reckless vehicle call, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office report.
According to the report, a deputy saw Raymond driving over 50 mph in a 35 mph zone in her grey Camry and crossing over the double yellow line twice before parking in two spots at a Walgreens.

The deputy smelled an odor of alcohol on Raymond and noticed she had slurred speech, glassy eyes and staggered when she walked, the report said.
According to the report, Raymond started drinking out of a glass, telling the deputy it was tea. A second glass found in the car smelled like an alcoholic beverage, the deputy wrote in the report.
Raymond was asked to get out of the car for tests and she started to give her top heavy excuse.
"When I told her we were going to do some roadside tasks she told me that I needed to understand that she is big chested and if I asked her to close her eyes and balance she is not going to balance well," the deputy wrote. "She told me 'big breast you don't balance well.'"
Asked if she had any injuries, Raymond replied she had big breasts and whiplash, the report said.
The report said Raymond had a hard time following directions and that when she was asked to walk a straight line, she began to dance.
"When I told her she had to keep her hands at her side she stated hell no not with these. Telling me again she can't do it, not with her big boobies," the deputy wrote, adding Raymond "began to take her clothes off to show me her breast and I stopped her."
Raymond was asked to count and "she seemed to sing the numbers while counting," the report said.
The deputy arrested Raymond for DUI, and she was taken to the station for a breath test.
But before the breath test, Raymond insisted she pray, the report said.
"She told me she was praying and that I need to relax because she is praying and God is first," the deputy wrote.
Raymond wasn't able to provide a valid breath sample, and was booked into jail, the report said. She was released on bond the next day.

lol,
No pictures? WTF?!?!
DUI = Driving Unbelievably Inflated
B:
Saw her mug shot in our local section of the news - you're NOT missing anything! A 49 y/o woman from redneck country! You'd be lucky if she still had most of her teeth - her "big boobies" were probably already to the floorboards!
lol I always tell the cops that my beer belly doesn't allow me to balance well
too many jokes, too many jokes...oh dear gawd make it stop!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah, that's why i'm always failing them roadside tests...except i don't got big boobies or a big belly, but a biiiiig...yeah, you know where i'm goin with that one...third leg!
LOL @ Joe
For a sobriety test, trying to get naked is also considered a failure. :)
Also remember you have to touch YOUR OWN nose.
Moheeheeko
Also remember you have to touch YOUR OWN nose.
=======
............Yeah, but with WHAT?
............And, was she able to reach the steering wheel, or was she driving with her knees?
That is touch not pick!
I can't even think of anything to say other than;
"Big boobs" can be fixed... bigger or smaller. But, there is no cure for stupid.
Why is this front page news MSNBC? Is there nothing more important then this?
You read it, didn't you?
ejv, some of us like to hear any news relating to boobs. Front page news about political boobs, I can do without.
Not only did you read it-- you commented on it YOU BOOB!
Lol you said " boob"
I do often wonder how some women with "big boobies" manage to walk at all.
I don't think "big boobies" have anything to do with the mechanics of legs when walking
Big feet.
I'll have to see a pic of more than just her face to make up my mind on this one.
Pics or it didn't happen LOL
Well if she can't balance with her big boobies then she shouldn't be driving at all!
I love Florida
pictures, need pictures (guess they impede her airway as well so she couldnt take the breathalizer)
Nice try!
You could blow a 0.40 and still pass the field sobriety test and go to jail. You can fail the test, blow a 0.00 and not go to jail. Do not tell me this woman is that @!$%#ing stupid. This shouldn't of even made local news.
Dang, all these years I could have claimed it was big boobies that make me a klutz. Not just that I'm occasionally clumsy. Maybe that's why I trip over my own feet -- I can't see them!
I would be willing to bet if the police were doing a field sobriety test, it was not the size of her breasts that was affecting her balance.
Actually, I've failed 2 of those things myself. (Small town - I work late - I get pulled over all the time) Im in SC and the field tests here are pretty extensive. I've got pretty bad balance, for the same reason. One of the officers seemed to understand the problem and just let me go. The other had me do a breath test and I blew 0.00. It does happen.
Of course, I didn't try to explain the problem to either officer - I just said I had bad ballance. I also didn't try to dance, sing or take my clothes off.
No taking off of the clothers? You must be pretty ugly!
If you are getting pulled over because you are falling asleep, I encourage you to change your habits. While difficult to document, driver fatigue is just as dangerous as driving drunk and nearly as common. Why do you think commercial drivers are regulated? Truck and bus drivers have strict regulations to follow. While I am not in those industries, I do frequently drive long distances and have made unplanned stops in hotels that were not in my budget because of concerns for my safety as well as the safety of others on the road.
Damm Gravity............
Yeah. That's it. That's why I failed mine too. HA!
Guess she thought she was gettin' the breathalizer when the officer pulled down his zipper :-)
Hilarious, these kinda stories are why I come to MSNBC.
Now I’ll go to Comedy Central for my News.
Thanks MSNBC, ya can’t make this kinda stuff up!
Of course if I’d been the officer, I would have offered her the option of doing jumping jacks.
Not if you saw her mug shot, as I did in our local news section! Remember, a 49 y/o woman in redneck country! NOT a pretty sight!
Okay thanks Laura, when I posted my comment the mug shot wasn't up.
Now I'm off my feed!
Thanks for the warning, although now that I think about it, it has been a really longtime...
A really, really longtime...
I have a similar problem with my schlong--except because it doesn't work at all when I am inebriated--no need for a sobriety test.
Strange because I have the opposite problem....mine works to well when drinking and does things I dont remember and is ALWAYS getting me into trouble because of it....:)
I find that argument extremely compelling... make it TWO arguments!
I can't believe the police officer kept a straight face;-} Oh forget it the'll just shut me down on this one way to much, that's what she said!
This story would be more interesting if we knew what her BAC was after they took her in for a breathalyzer.
Only in Martin County, Florida! (Not St. Lucie County, as reported above) - I'm ashamed to say that I live there! This first thing I thought when I read this in our local news was "What a field day the late night talk show hosts are going to have with this one!"
i believe her nough said
Can I say my "giant nuts" are an excuse for failing a sobriety test? Cause that would make it a lot harder to walk than boobs...
Remember "BIG" does not always mean firm and beautiful. Maybe she was like one of those tattoos biker strippers that have worked a decade past their prime, and she kept tripping over them as she walked the straight line???
