“She was taken to the police department, where a friend picked her up.”

and then the two of them together went off singing, ‘oh show me the way to the next whisky bar...’

Drunk driving charges are usually numbered as first, second, third, etc. The facts in these cases, however stupid as she is, and as sad as they are, are ideal for a plea bargain.

And, in the real world, during the plea discussion, there will be lots of laughs at her expense during her attorneys negotiations with the prosecutor.

Assuming that these are her first offenses, she will probably plead guilty to a drunk driving first. The drunk driving second, with its enhanced penaltis will be dismissed.

And, after she gets her license back, it will be on to the next time.

Nope. The article says she was booked and a friend picked her up. The friend apparently took her back to her car. That is why a lot of PDs impound your car
