The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office recently released a video of a woman performing "ballet and Irish folk dance moves" during a roadside sobriety test. The woman, Amy Harrington, was pulled over after rear-ending another car. Deputies said she showed signs of being impaired, including bloodshot, watery, and glassy eyes, and difficulty following instructions.
During the sobriety test, the deputy asked Harrington to walk the line. “Yeah, well, you sound like my ballet coach,” Harrington answered before taking five steps on the line and then transitioning into a ballet sequence.
“That wasn’t the exercise that I was demonstrating,” the deputy said.
Without responding, Harrington then leaped into a ballet/Irish folk hybrid dance!
This isn't the first time Harrington has refused testing, either. In March 2019, she refused to test after a separate incident in Pinellas County. Deputies also found a cup of liquid that smelled like alcohol in her car.
If you plan to drink, make sure to have a designated driver, use a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft, or call a taxi. Don't risk the safety of yourself and others on the road by driving under the influence. And if asked to walk the line for a sobriety test, maybe save your dance moves for later!
