No Pants, No Mercy: Florida Woman’s DUI Crash Saga in The Villages
Meet Janice Jackson Tate, of the Villages. At the ripe age of 68, Janice took her trusty Toyota on an adventure she won’t soon forget.
According to Villages News, on August 19th, around 6:30 p.m., and Janice is cruising near the Manatee Recreation Center. Now, most people would consider this a routine drive, but Janice had other plans. She decided to have a close encounter with the curb, and her car ended up looking like it had a tango with a bulldozer.
What’s more, our heroine Janice was found inside the recreation center, in a state of undress from the waist down. Yes, she was out and about in the buff! According to the arrest report, she was “staggering and unable to maintain balance.” Apparently, Janice didn’t get the memo that a public recreation center is no place for a nudist colony.
No Pants in The Villages:
Janice, a Memphis native, had an interesting alibi. She claimed she swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle, which is a creative way to explain an intimate encounter with a curb. To make matters even more entertaining, she attempted some martial arts moves during a field sobriety test. Clearly, she was a fan Karate Kid movies.
Her blood alcohol content, registered at a whopping .275 and .280, which is like playing a boozy game of limbo with the legal limit.
Janice graced the Sumter County Court this week and pled no contest to her misadventure. Her punishment? A six-month driving hiatus, a year of probation, and 50 hours of community service. That’s a sentence that might just keep her out of trouble long enough to grow out of her daredevil phase.
So, hats off to Janice Jackson Tate, the free-spirited Villager. In the end, it’s all about finding that balance between living life to the fullest and steering clear of the curbs… and pants, of course.
