'Twilight' Fan: Missing 'Breaking Dawn' Made Me Get A DUI
by Sean Comer
Folks, this is a personal public-service announcement: whether you're Team Jacob, Team Edward or Team Harry Potter, just don't be Team Moron. No movie is worth this.
Remember, 18-year-old Illinois driver Olivia Christina Ornelas will soon have to explain this to a judge in open court. It will then become a matter of public record.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Ornelas had planned an evening around seeing "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" with her boyfriend. He apparently bailed at the last minute. Ornelas apparently had heard worse excuses to drink.
Police reportedly found Ornelas driving in a ditch near Route 71 just after midnight Saturday. Kendall County Sheriff's Department officers reported that she was driving without her right-front tire and told them “she was extremely upset with her boyfriend because she did not get to see the new 'Twilight' movie as they were supposed to do," according to officers.
The Huffington Post reports that Ornelas now faces DUI and unlawful consumption of alcohol by a minor charges after the early-morning rage drive. She posted a $300 bond.
And now, the obligatory non-"Twi-hard" perspective: don't some people start drinking heavily after sitting through a "Twilight" movie? I mean, we all have to forget somehow...
