Check out the shigity…….A 78-year-old Hallandale Beach, Florida grandmother ticketed for driving on a suspended driver’s license spent 15 days in jail before authorities announced her license wasn’t suspended and an outraged judge set her free.
This is what happened:
Court records show the officer ticketed Shaink Trudeau not for driving too slowly, but for driving on a suspended or revoked driver’s license – a criminal charge that carries up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The ticket required her to appear at the South Satellite Courthouse on Oct. 8. When she did not show, a judge issued a bench warrant for her arrest and set a $2,000 bond.
On Sept. 17, 10 days after her ticket in Hallandale, the state received a response and restored Shaink Trudeau’s driving privileges pending further review, Gulden said.
Shaink Trudeau told a reporter she understood the notice she received from the state to mean she no longer had to appear in court.
But she misunderstood……..
And then six weeks after the warrant was issued, three big azz Broward Sheriff’s deputies were sent to her home and arrested this poor lady in her kitchen.
County Court Judge Lee J. Seidman ordered Gabrielle Shaink Trudeau’s release in December at her arraignment.
“She’s handcuffed like Houdini, for the record. She’s got chains around her waist, and she’s got handcuffs in front around her hands as if she was some kind of a violent criminal,” said Seidman, according to a transcript. “I want her released. I think she’s suffered enough at our system’s mistakes.”
Please understand…..if this was Annie Ingram(my grandmother) my family would own Broward County and all responsible f’ ups will be jobless! PERIOD!
Say it with me, “What the Hell?”
