She probably had a state issued drivers license, too.
Actually, she had NO driver’s license, and had been arrested back in 2006 for driving without a license. Go figure.
“According to state records, Morales has a Minnesota identification card but does not have a valid driver’s license. She pleaded guilty in June 2006 to driving without a license and paid a $182 fine.
Recalling that incident, Sandra Keding of Montevideo said in an interview Thursday that she had been reading the newspaper in her home that afternoon when she heard gravel flying.
“I stood up from the couch and looked out my window and this car was coming right toward my house,” said Keding, 45. “The car hit the curb, came right up on my yard and stopped about 12 feet from the front of my house.”
She recalled that Morales was driving and that she was “shaking all over and was a total wreck.” When Morales tried to shift the automatic transmission on the blue Dodge Neon, she couldn’t.
“She apparently didn’t know how to drive the car,” Keding said. “I had to get in and move it. She acted like she didn’t know how to shift.”
Police arrived and ticketed Morales for driving without a Minnesota license.”
