Molino Woman Charged With DUI After Two Wrecks

April 3, 2012

A Molino woman was charged with DUI following two wrecks Saturday afternoon on Crabtree Church Road.

Frieda McCrory Allen, 55, was charged by the Florida Highway Patrol with DUI property damage and altering a controlled substance prescription.

Allen was first involved in an accident on Crabtree Church Road at the Molino Ballpark. The other driver involved in the crash was cited for being at fault and pulling out in front of Allen. At that time, a FHP trooper said Allen appeared “normal” with no impairments.

Just a few minutes after leaving the first wreck scene, Allen drove a short distance where she struck a culvert at the intersection of Crabbtree Church Road and Sunshine Hill Road. According to the trooper, Allen began to exhibit signs of impairment, including slurred speech and droopy eyelids.

According to an arrest report, she began to ramble things at the trooper that made no sense.

“I can see uh… add uhh… if he uhh.. is in the right. Whatever on the fine. Uhh… You know what I mean… uhh .. that uhh. on the next pm uhh,” is the response Allen gave the trooper when asked about a wrecker for her vehicle, the FHP report states.

Allen then failed several field sobriety tests.  A blood alcohol breath test indicated that Allen had no alcohol in her system, but she was “extremely impaired” due to some type of medication, the report states. The FHP is awaiting the results of a urine test.

The trooper located several different medications in Allen’s vehicle, including Lortab. One of the pill bottled “had been altered from the original state that had been prescribed to her”, according to troopers, leading to the drug charge.

    Trooper should have scrutinized her more closely in the first place… too many pillbillies on the roads as it is…

    I DIDN’T REALIZE THAT YOU CAN’T WRITE ON YOUR OWN PILL BOTTLES! WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU’VE BEEN TAKING IT ONE WAY, THEN YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR AND HE CHANGES IT (INCREASES/DECREASES HOW OFTEN, OR THE AMOUNT). WHAT IF HE DOES THAT FOR YOUR ELDERLY PARENTS, AND YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO FORGET HOW THEY’RE SUPPOSE TO TAKE THE MEDICINE??? CAN YOU WRITE ON THE BOTTLE IN THAT INSTANCE, OR IS IT BECAUSE SHE HAD LORATAB??
