This is Holly Schnobrich.  Fresh off of a DUI conviction, she got hopped up on Percocets and Vodka and then made her 5 year-old son drive her home.  Yee Haw!

From the Indychannel here:

A woman was arrested for letting her 5-year-old son drive her around while she was intoxicated, police said.

Holly Schnobrich, 24, of Lafayette, was charged with felony neglect and public intoxication after neighbors told police the boy was driving her and his 3-year-old brother in their subdivision early Sunday.  Wendy Barrett, a resident of the Saddlebrook subdivision, said Weston Schnobrich was behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi Galant that stopped in front of her home.

“So I approach the car, and the windows come down and there is a toddler on his knees, controlling the steering wheel.  Barrett said she saw Holly Schnobrich buckled in the front passenger seat, and the 3-year-old was crawling in the back.  “I asked her, ‘Ma’am, are you OK? Do you need some help? Is this your toddler?’ She admitted, ‘Yes, but he’s a good driver,’” Barrett recalled.

Holly Schnobrich admitted taking the prescription painkiller Percocet with vodka. She also had a near-empty bottle of sleeping pills that she told them she had for two days, according to the affidavit.

On Thursday, Weston said that he was having a hard time driving.  “My legs were too short to reach the pedals,” he said.  “I want to be a race car driver when I grow up,” he said.

Prosecutors said Schnobrich pleaded guilty last week to an unrelated charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

According to the Smoking Gun here, Schnobrich was taking the pills because the kids were “acting wild.”  She needed to be high to deal with the kids.

I just finished watching Ricky Bobby the other night and couldn’t help but think of this scene below.
