In Bluffton, South Carolina, a car blasted through a four-way stop at 1:45am. The car was going 60mph, which is 30mph over the limit. Police officers pulled the vehicle over and met the driver: 32-year-old real estate agent Lauren Cutshaw. Her eyes were bloodshot and glossy, she was slurring her words, and the car reeked of alcohol.

According to the police report, Cutshaw told the cops she drank two glasses of wine earlier that night. When they asked how full the glasses were, she replied, "I mean, I was celebrating my birthday." Rather than wish her a happy birthday and let her go, the officers gave the woman a sobriety test. whe had a blood alcohol level of .18 - more than twice the legal limit.

However, Cutshaw didn't think she should be arrested. She told the police to let her go because she's a "very clean, thoroughbred white girl." According to the police report, she told officers, "I'm a white, clean girl." When they asked what that has to do with anything, she replied, "You’re a cop, you should know what that means." They did not.

The woman went on to list several reasons why she should not be arrested. Here is the full list, as reported by the Island Packet: She’s had perfect grades her whole life. She was a cheerleader. She was a sorority girl. Her partner is a cop. She graduated from a "high accredited university." And she was in the National Honors Society.

When the officers heard Cutshaw stunning academic resume and impressive social accolades, they apologized for bothering her and handed her car keys back. Just kidding. They were not buying her drunken 'white privilege' argument. "Making statements such as these as a means to justify not being arrested are unusual in my experience as a law enforcement officer and I believe further demonstrate the suspect’s level of intoxication," wrote one of the officers in the report.

Despite being an excellent cheerleader, Cutshaw was arrested and booked at the Beaufort County Detention Center. Despite being a very clean, thoroughbred white girl - the purest of the pure - she faces several charges: driving under the influence, speeding, disregarding a stop sign, simple possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. But maybe the judge hears about her "perfect grades" at a "highly accredited" university, he'll let her go free. I mean, come on, her boyfriend is a cop!

Well, this has not been a good year for white entitlement. Over the past few months, we've seen a lot of stories about white people calling the cops on black people for no good reason: BBQing by the lake, visiting the neighborhood pool, selling water bottles on the sidewalk. Every time, the attempt backfired, with the 'concerned citizen' getting roasted on social media. In many cases, they also lost their job. So, now you can't call the police on black people for being black, and you can't get out of DUI because you're white? Tough times.

Anyway, before I forget: Happy birthday, Lauren Cutshaw! Hope you had fun.

They say that there's a bright side to any situation, and it turns out that's apparently true even if you get arrested. A 19-year-old who was apprehended for possession of marijuana (a cheeky two grams she was planning on smoking with friends later that night) might've landed herself a night in jail, but it looks like she's also landed herself a promising career path.

Former Texan university student Marshala Perkins took her time to apply her makeup before heading out to meet her friends. But while she was sitting in the car, the 19-year-old was approached by two Hunt County police officers.

"[One officer] asked me for my handicap sticker because I was in a handicap spot," Marshala told As/Is, explaining that her mother has a disability and she often drives her around. "I gave it to him and he brought it back, said everything was clear."

But unfortunately, one of the officers had his nostrils on high alert. "It smells like weed in here," he reportedly said, before asking her to step out of the car so he could search it. Lo-and-behold, they found the little bag of devil's lettuce.

"And so I went to jail for it with my beat face," Marshala stated, referring to (wait for it)... this:

Yup, Marshala's mugshot ended up on the internet on the rather questionable "Mugshot Baes" Twitter account. As you can see, she looks bangin', and people were very impressed to learn that her makeup skills are completely self-taught.

The picture soon went viral, and people began requesting tutorials from the 19-year-old.

She was arrested back in February but the photo appeared on the Twitter page more recently, earning her a lot of attention.

“My phone started going crazy,” the Dallas local told the Star-Telegraph. “I was still kind of embarrassed about it because it was something I didn’t want people to know. But then when I started reading the comments I was like, besides me being in jail, people are really noticing my talent and what I can do.”

It seems the embarrassment turned into inspiration, with Marshala saying "makeup is something that I really wanted to do—I was like 'Okay!' I wasn’t feeling too bad about it."

Her Instagram follower count rose enormously once people found her public profile, and she's had countless requests for video tutorials. And it doesn't end there! Marshala said that she's also been contacted about starting her own makeup line.

“Someone has reached out to me about starting my own makeup line. It’s crazy. My mind is blown,” she revealed. “Now it’s turned into something so positive so I’m just going to embrace it and see where it takes me.”

Marshala has made a YouTube channel with makeup-brushes featured in her profile's imagery, so it seems she is planning to upload a few tutorials. Despite the fact that she has no videos yet, she has close to 1,000 subscribers already.

We're looking forward to see what's still to come!

A drunk driver who killed a bride on her wedding day has made a startling request.On December 2, Jamie Lee Komoroski pleaded guilty to two counts of felony DUI resulting in great bodily injury and one count each of felony DUI resulting in death and reckless homicide resulting in death after she hit a golf cart on which Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson were traveling on the way home from their wedding reception.The pair had just left the venue after celebrating such a special night in South Carolina last year when the now 27-year-old plowed into them, killing Miller and injuring Hutchinson.Komoroski was driving at 65 miles per hour and was three times over the legal limit, and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the crime.Jamie Lee Komoroski was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

"This is the worst decision I have ever made in my life. Due to my poor decisions a beautiful wife, sister and mother was taken... all I can say is how incredibly remorseful I am.”Komoroski also apologized to the family and said she will always be embarrassed by her actions.“I want them to know how sorry I am for the bottom of my heart and that I take full responsibility for my actions. I will always be devastated, deeply ashamed and terribly sorry for what I have done,” she said.Her legal team is now arguing for a more lenient punishment via a 77-page filing to Ninth Judicial Circuit Judge Deadra L. Jefferson, citing other similar cases in the area that received sentences ranging from nine to 18 years.Her attorneys emphasized that "the gravity of the offense was severe" but added that the judge failed to consider other mitigating aspects, such as her lack of criminal history and guilty pleas which saved Miller's family from having to go to trial.They also argued that Komoroski had shown "unequivocal acceptance of responsibility for her actions" and had a known struggle with alcohol abuse.The couple on their wedding night.

The woman who allegedly struck a golf cart while drunk, killing a newlywed bride who was leaving her wedding ceremony, reportedly confessed to being an "alcoholic [and] addict."

According to law enforcement, Jamie Lee Komoroski’s blood-alcohol level was triple the legal limit when she sped a rented car into a golf cart carrying 34-year-old Samantha Miller and her groom, 36-year-old Aric Hutchinson as the new spouses left their beach wedding reception in South Carolina on April 28 2023.

Miller succumbed to her injuries at Folly Beach while still clad in her wedding dress. They had been traveling back to their hotel with two of their wedding guests, who were also injured in the incident but not fatally.

Komoroski has been released from custody on house arrest after posting a $150,000 bond and is currently awaiting trial.

In phone calls (obtained by The New York Post) made in the lead up to her release from custody on March 1, 26-year-old Komoroski allegedly told her sister, Kelsi, she has no control where alcohol is concerned and that it had taken over her life.

“I consider myself an alcoholic addict because anything that makes me feel different or takes me away from what I’m supposed to be feeling, I used to try to do,” she said on December 11.

“I just didn’t think life had any meaning. I was extremely lonely and didn’t get life. I could never just sit down with my thoughts.”

In a separate phone call made from the Al Cannon Detention Center in South Carolina, Komoroski is said to have shared all the things she hopes to do including a visit to see the Northern Lights in Scandinavia.

“I want to go to [a] Harry Potter [exhibit]. We need to do that. You get wands…and pretend that we are wizards,” she said to her brother CJ in a December 6 conversation.

In a different call some days later, Komoroski purportedly told her dad, Charles, she was also looking forward to spending time with family.

“I can’t wait until I can watch The History Channel with you again,” she said on Decemeber 10. “[We can make] popcorn. I’ll have ice cream…[and] cake.”

Komoroski must remain in Charleston County as part of her bail deal. She is facing four felony charges, including reckless homicide. This holds a maximum 25-year prison term.

A woman has launched a lawsuit after she was arrested for being drunk and allegedly mocked in jail despite suffering from a life-changing stroke.

According to her lawsuit, a then 38-year-old Nicole McClure had been driving back from work on March 21, 2022, in Washington state, after complaining about dizziness and a headache.

As she attempted to navigate the roads, trooper Jonathan Barnes of Thurston County police noticed her erratic driving and pulled her over. Dashcam footage details their tense encounter, with Barnes drawing his gun, shouting commands, and ultimately handcuffing McClure, accusing her of evading police.

"Get out the car, get out the car," Barnes can heard shouting, gun drawn.

After McClure stepped out of her vehicle, the officer can be seen pushing her against the hood of his police car and handcuffing her.

In the distressing footage, McClure can be heard telling Officer Barnes that she was not inebriated and her last drink was "around 12 hours ago". He then asks her: "When’s the last time you used meth? When was the last time you used heroin?"

To which, McClure replies: "I haven’t — I don’t. [...] I’m confused. I think I’m tired."

Police records show that McClure was arrested on suspicion of intoxicated driving and felony evading.

Shockingly, instead of receiving urgent medical attention, McClure was allegedly detained in a cell at Thurston County Jail for a staggering 24 hours.

The lawsuit paints a troubling picture of McClure's treatment while in custody, alleging that her requests for medical assistance were ignored. McClure reportedly experienced mistreatment and negligence by jail staff, with allegations of being laughed at and dismissed when she sought help - despite struggling to stand and vomiting.

At one point, McClure's lawyer, Anne Vankirk, claims officers told her client to "have another shot".

Documents claim that the medical section of the arrest report was crossed out and "Did not ask" was written across it.

When McClure was finally taken to a hospital, it was only for a drugs and alcohol test - which came back negative, the lawsuit states.

Finally, the true extent of her condition was discovered, and doctors were forced to perform emergency brain surgery to relieve pressure caused by a frontal-lobe subdural hematoma. McClure was hospitalized for 17 days and left with a "severe traumatic brain injury ", Vankirk said.

"Nicole suffers from severe traumatic brain injury and remains unable to care for herself or engage with life in meaningful ways." Vankirk said, and emphasized that prompt medical attention could have significantly altered the outcome.

Per ITV News, state patrol spokesperson Chris Loftis said the agency is aware of the lawsuit but doesn’t comment on pending litigation.

Loftis also confirmed that Barnes wasn’t disciplined.

Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office spokesperson Tara Tsehlana confirmed thta the county has been served with the lawsuit, adding: "While we can’t discuss the specifics of any pending litigation, I can confirm that the safety of inmates, staff, and the general public remains a top priority for the Thurston County Corrections Facility."
