She got more and more upset.The police came and they do their job, you know, when something like that is, you know, a situation like that, they say they’ve gotta take you down for a–they officially call it a ‘cooling off period. It’s just an unfortunate situation. Nobody was hit and nobody was hurt. It’s just something that happened as a result of drinking too much.
