Woman Arrested 4 Times in 2 Weeks for DUI Huffing

A woman's repeated DUI offenses involving nitrous oxide huffing have led to multiple arrests within a short span. The 46-year-old was first apprehended on November 12th for huffing 'whippets' while driving in Pierce County, Washington, and was found partially nude. This marked the beginning of a two-week period that saw three more DUI arrests.

Authorities reported that the woman totaled her car twice during these incidents. Following her third arrest, a deputy expressed concern, stating she was risking a fatal crash. Despite her repeated offenses and the dangers posed, she was often released on bail, only to be arrested again quickly.

Due to her persistent disregard for public safety, a judge eventually issued two $50,000 warrants for her arrest on November 24th. She was taken into custody at her home on November 26th and remains detained, having been identified as a high-risk danger to the community.
