“Repeat Offender’s Late-Night Crash Exposed on Bodycam: Officers Shocked by What They Found”
A newly released bodycam video captures the tense moment officers confronted a repeat offender involved in yet another late-night DWI crash. The footage, recorded on a rural roadside, shows the woman—often referred to online as “Duster Girl” due to a previous incident—sitting behind the wheel in a dazed, confused state as officers attempt to understand what led to the crash.
According to authorities, officers were dispatched just after midnight following multiple reports of a vehicle swerving across the roadway before crashing near an open field. When deputies arrived, they found the car partially on the shoulder with the driver’s door open and the engine still running. The woman was slumped in her seat, struggling to keep her eyes open and respond to simple instructions.
The bodycam footage begins with an officer gently asking her to shut off the engine. She appears overwhelmed, repeatedly glancing around as if unsure where she is. Her responses are slow and slurred, and at times she looks straight past the officer, confused by the flashing lights surrounding her car.
Investigators later confirmed that this was not her first DWI-related incident. In fact, she had been arrested before under similar circumstances, raising serious concerns about her ongoing pattern of dangerous behavior behind the wheel.
In the video, officers remain calm and patient as they try to assess her condition. They ask whether she has been drinking or using any substances, but she gives inconsistent answers. She also struggles to remember basic details such as where she was coming from and whether anyone else was in the vehicle with her. Officers note multiple signs of impairment and begin preparing her for field evaluation procedures.
While conducting their investigation, officers discover the car had veered off the road and narrowly missed a ditch. Tire marks show the vehicle had left the pavement multiple times before finally coming to a stop. Had another driver been nearby or a pedestrian been walking along the shoulder, the outcome could have been far worse.
The responding deputies eventually determine that she is not safe to operate a vehicle and inform her she is being placed under arrest. The woman becomes emotional, repeatedly insisting she is fine, but the footage clearly shows she is in no condition to drive. Officers guide her carefully out of the car, making sure she does not lose her balance or fall, as she continues to appear disoriented.
Authorities later announced that she was charged with another DWI offense, adding to her growing list of violations. They emphasized that her repeated behavior behind the wheel poses a serious risk not only to herself but to everyone on the road. Officials say they hope this incident becomes a turning point that leads her to seek help and break the cycle before it ends in something far more tragic.
The bodycam video has quickly gained attention online, with viewers expressing frustration, concern, and disbelief over her repeated crashes. While many are thankful no one was seriously hurt, the footage serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of impaired driving and how quickly a familiar mistake can place countless lives at risk.
