Nebraska Woman Arrested for DUI, Child Abuse
Below is a press release put out by Sarpy County Sheriff Department. Unbelievable story of what the disease of alcoholism can make a person do. If she would have had an ignition interlock she would have been forced to either walk to get her alcohol or have someone bring it to her. Smart Start of Nebraska has two locations to have an ignition interlock device installed a very short drive from where this lady was arrested.
Sarpy County Sheriff arrested Krista Kay STIRES, age 30 of Bellevue this morning after a traffic stop. The arrest was made near Kennedy Freeway (H.75) south of Bellevue. STIRES was arrested for 4th offense DWI, Intentional Child Abuse and Driving under Suspension/Revocation. She is currently being held with out bond at the Sarpy County Jail.
STIRES was arrested at 7:51 AM and tested over the legal limits of BAC .08. Her Nebraska driving privileges are suspended/revoked from a previous DWI conviction.
It was discovered that STIRES had left her 3 ½ month old baby at home alone while she drove to replenish her alcoholic beverage supply. The baby was removed and placed in care of Nebraska Health and Human services.
