Drunk driver approached police to complain

WESTMINSTER, Colo. (UPI) -- Police in Colorado said a woman was arrested for drunken driving when she approached police at a crash site to complain about their parking.

Westminster police said the incident began at 5:17 p.m. MDT Sunday while they were attempting to coax a drunk driver involved in a collision to exit his vehicle, KMGH-TV, Denver, reported Wednesday.

"The first drunk was actually in his car and he wouldn't put it in park and the car was running," police investigator Trevor Materasso said. "So, the officers were on the passenger side of the car trying to get it safe, so that he couldn't drive away and hit somebody else."

Materasso said an officer climbed into the man's passenger seat and turned off his car's engine. He said another motorist then got out of her car and approached the man's vehicle.

"The officers are saying, 'Ma'am, you need to go back to your car.' And she gets belligerent with them, telling them it was a stupid place to do a traffic stop," he said. "And it turns out she too was drunk.

"I wish every drunk would seek us out. It would be great," Materasso said.

Katherine Morse, 49, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and obstructing police. The man's name was not released.

TV station holds contest for traffic job

CHICAGO (UPI) -- A Chicago television station is holding a contest for a new traffic reporter to serve for three months and a $25,000 salary.

WBBM-TV said the contest, open to any residents of the viewing area at least 21 years of age, will result in the hiring of a traffic-jam and car-crash correspondent in a union position for at least three months with the station having options on three-month extensions, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.

The station said competitors must submit videos by March 31 explaining why they should receive the position. The top 75 chosen from the first 3,000 videos received will record on-camera traffic reports and take written exams on Chicago-area commuter routes in April.

The winner will be announced May 18 and will start the job May 23.

Sex toy attacker pleads guilty

GURNEE, Ill. (UPI) -- An Illinois woman accused of striking a police officer with a sex toy pleaded guilty to drunken driving and theft charges.

Carolee Bildsten, 57, was sentenced to six months of periodic imprisonment and 30 months of probation after pleading guilty Monday in a Lake County court to felony aggravated driving under the influence and a misdemeanor count of theft, the Waukegan News Sun reported Thursday.

Prosecutors said Bildsten, who was pulled over and charged with driving under the influence Sept. 5, faced the theft charge due to a separate incident in which she left a Joe's Crab Shack restaurant without paying her bill. She was found by a Gurnee police officer and given a ride home, where she claimed to have money for the restaurant bill, and upon arriving attacked the officer with "a clear, rigid, feminine pleasure device," a police report said.

Bildsten had faced an assault charge stemming from the incident but the charge was dropped in exchange for her guilty plea.

Minnesota double-issues tax refunds

ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) -- The Minnesota Revenue Department said it is correcting the mistaken double-issuing 14,000 electronic tax refunds, using a third transaction to rescind payments.

A department release, without mentioning any further details, said "human error" led to the mistake, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.

The refunds were deposited in taxpayers' bank accounts Friday and inadvertently re-issued Monday, the release said.

After the department discovered the error it reversed the second payments.

Affected taxpayers will see two identical refund deposits, with one of them reversed Tuesday, the newspaper said.

"The department is investigating the cause of the error and has taken steps to ensure that it does not happen again," the release said.
