My favorite part of the story: After asking her to take part in an eye test, [the state trooper] says she refused and then, "rolled up her window and took off." Johnny Law caught up to her six miles down the road.
Full reports (with video and slideshow!) are available here and here.
Today's arrest of Resnick, the only Democrat on the bench, eclipses today's other big Ohio news - Mayor Coleman's announcement of his candidacy for governor. Coleman's response to the story: "Dammit, woman."

2pm? Wow. Not even a weekend. Well, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.
You know you're badass when you have enough material to link to another story within your own blog! External links be damned: Micah World is my one-stop shopping for all worthwhile news.
Now if you'll excuse me, I do believe there is a Mardi Gras party calling my drunk-ass name.
Damn straight I'm a badass.
Enjoy Mardi Gras. Let me know how Oz is. :) Is Phat Saturday gonna be at your crib this week? Man, I miss having that party. It shall be resurrected one day, my friend. Like a phoenix rising out of Arizona...
Mardi Gras party? Not fair :(
How many surviving members of the originial Phat Saturday need to be partying on Sat. to make it official?
I believe three is the magic number. The last one not hosted by the new generation had three originals: me, Dubin, and Kandace.
I don't know that I'm hosting a party so much as I'm housing the Official Mardi Gras 2005 Bathroom. Being 2 blocks off St. Charles for the parades certainly has its benefits. Y'all are welcome to come down and pee wherever you want....really.
I used the Marriott bathroom on New Year's Eve a couple of years ago. So did about 1,500 other folks leaving Jackson Brewery.
I'd come down there in a heartbeat except that: a) I'm in the thick of bar studying and b) my finances are tied up in the market, T-bills, and bling.
I'd love to be down in "Nawlins" getting drunk and taking my top off, but I'm too busy doing that right here. Maybe I'll meet up with Judge Resnick and we can do a "Thelma and Louise" thing. Man I miss Phat Saturday...
I tried to get Dubin to come this weekend, to watch the Commercial Bowl, but he's moving. So no Phat Saturday.
What if I sweetened the deal with the offer of all-you-can-eat crepes? Would you come then? You can resist the foot-long crepe...
Er....*can't* resist. (I blame all typos this week on the Hurricanes and Miller Lite).
KPMD - You're more than welcome to come over here and take your top off. You'd be closer to your judge friend, too.
As for Phat Saturday, I'm more than willing to throw 2006's party (assuming I'm not studying for my fourth bar exam then). I don't know how many people would venture to C-Bus for it, though. Or maybe I'll be back in DC or Richmond by then.
Was the all-crepe dinner at Petunia's not the best idea ever? You almost had me checking Expedia just now, 16:9.
If said crepes are being served by pleasantly gay men, I may just be game. But, I don't know if I want to miss being here in Philly and watching the Eagles fans cry when they get spanked by the Pats.
And when KPMD says "cry", she clearly means "riot".
Crepes? What about the diner where they mash hamburgers on the grill with Oldsmobile hubcaps?
Riot? In Philly? The only things to steal in South Philly are all the abandoned cars.
Here we'll be cheering the commercials. No Michael Vick=lots of commercial watching.
Micah - as much as I appreciate the invite, if I'm going anywhere to take my top off, I suppose it should be England. Shamrock and I have actually been discussing hosting Phat Saturday next year. I guess it all depends on what he's up to this time next year. I can taste the extra spicy seafood gumbo already.
16:9 - Win or lose, I know there'll be MAJOR destruction of property. Luckily, this city is such a dump, no one will notice.
spydrz - We hit the Clover Grill for a very intimate lunch last trip. Great burgers!
KPMD - Philly's probably a smarter choice for the party as it is a better location (for turnout, that is). Close to DC/Richmond. I get dibs on being the first one drunk (like usual)!
That's fine, Micah, but I get dibs on being first one passed out. Just like PhatSat version 2.0 all over again! How many guys can get out-drunk by their sisters? Well, besides me and Shamrock.
And isn't it the Camellia Grill? Mmm....grilled pecan pie.
All this talk of Nawlins food must stop. And it is the Clover Grill that uses a hubcab in the grilling of its burgers. You may have been, uh, distracted by the gay cowboys outside the window to see the actual preparation of the food.
Man, that pecan pie....drooooool.
Ah, yes. I had clearly gotten my novelty-laden grills confused. But in my defense, that was a day in which my very core was shaken, and I became a very confused and curious young man--if only for a few hours. I do believe you have pics to prove it.
"Micah World Junior News Team Scooper"! and my parents think I'm unemployed. Thanks for the props Micah!
I do. I still have yet to make the animated .GIF of you and The Distinguished Gentleman "going...going...gay." Good times.
MotL - That's what you get when you give me 3 stories. The pay's not much, but the respect you'll get from your peers is off the charts!
Animated GIF? Is it on Imagestation?
That's too funny.
All your assets are tied up in bling? Send some ice my way, babe.
Seriously, people wonder how a person can function with a BAC level so high. Me? I got nabbed by the 5-0 when I was running a hefty .24. In KY the limit is .08, so needless to say I was thrown in the back of the squad car. Always wanted to wear handcuffs... but not -that- way.
