Put your hands behind your back because we're going to manually do it for you and it's not going to be good. >> If you have to get your hands behind your back, you understand? >> Yeah. >> Age softens normal people. But when Karens become grandmas, they get sharper, messier, and bold enough to think that nothing, even a DUI charge, wouldn't dare stick to a senior citizen. >> And I have a firefighter nephew. >> And a police fighter nephew. >> Stop. That means you can't You're not free to go. >> I have actually >> If you keep pulling, you can get more charges for resisting. Let's not do that. Okay. >> You just got to relax your arm and it'll stop hurting. actually because I have small bones. >> Here are several moments when granny cars realize age won't excuse a DUI. Starting with Barbara, the perfect cocktail of booze and bad temper, who turned a simple DUI and welfare check into a full-blown standoff with the cops because she believed that her age and outdated tantrums would shield her from consequences. >> I'm just trying to stop her from driving. >> Okay. What's so what's going on? >> She's drunk. >> Hang out over there for me. What is your problem? >> Stop. >> What is your problem? You >> Why don't you shut up? You don't have a badge [music] on, you [ __ ] >> You've got one. You [ __ ] >> Why are you so angry? >> Why did Why are you so angry? >> Why did you seriously? >> On February the 19th, 2025, officers were dispatched to a Wind Dixie after concerned bystanders spotted a woman who was so intoxicated she could barely stand, yet still tried to buy more alcohol and drive off. At that moment, a crazy drunk granny Karen was on the loose and the cops needed to find her before she did anything disastrous. >> Hello. >> Okay. >> I'm just trying to stop her from driving. >> Okay. What's So, what's [music] going on? >> She's drunk. >> Okay. >> She's always drunk. >> Okay. >> She's up here. She's drunk. She got better part of two quarts of wine in her and she's up here getting more. >> Okay. >> I followed her up, told her, "I'll give you a ride back." She won't hear any part of it. And these guys can testify that it's been pretty embarrassing. >> Also, her their neighbor. >> Yeah, I know. That I just met. >> That has nothing to do with it. Just hang out over there for a moment. >> That I just met a minute ago. Same with this guy came up to save. >> Can you guys grab your IDs for me? >> Yes. >> All right. And that's her purse. >> Yeah. >> Awesome. Can I take that, please? >> I don't know. She's got an ID in there, so that's okay. Nope. Don't worry about it. I'll go through it. >> I'll just stand here. >> Please. Yeah. There's more people right there. While the officer was still trying to piece the situation together, Barbara came out swinging, literally and verbally announcing herself louder than anyone ever needed. Years of unchecked entitlement finally grabbed the throttle and took the whole encounter [music] off the rails. >> Hang out over there for me. >> What is your problem? >> Stop. Sit down. >> What is your problem? You bastard. >> Stop. >> Stop. >> Why don't you shut up? You don't have a badge on, you [ __ ] >> Go sit in your car. >> You don't have a You don't have a badge on. >> Go sit in your car. >> I don't care.

It's your earpiece. >> Okay. >> Oh, >> it's our radio. >> Okay, we can turn. >> Why didn't Why didn't you be the You really are an ugly. All right. You really are an ugly. She's bleeding some.

And even with the jail booking on the menu, she was still hungry for more. >> Oh, okay. >> That's the bottom one. That's the bottom one. >> Oh, there it is. Okay, >> I got the top one for you. >> All right. >> Put on your seat belt on. >> Okay. Got to sit back. Sit back. >> Putting your seat belt on. >> Don't you try to bite me. >> You You piece of All right. I know.

So she's going to jail obviously for resisting or obstruction and then she's going to go for battery on Leo cuz she kicked me. And then um when she gets out, you'll have to file for an exparte order uh for her to go to take your evidence for the judge and apply for it and then the judge can make her go get treatment. >> I got to wait for her to get out though to do start all that or how do I do that? >> You go down to the courthouse >> and just I'll figure it out for >> Yeah. You just file it and everything like that. >> Nope. It's going with me. >> Nope. It's going with me. >> Nope. You're good. Okay. car's lock this shoe. >> That's fine. >> Okay. >> Stop. >> Get away from me. >> Hello, Barbara. >> Wow. All you guys for what?

Okay, >> we're going to walk right in there. Okay. >> In the end, she was charged with DUI, battery on an LEO, and resisting arrest. Barbara was a wild one, no doubt. But she looked downright harmless compared to 63-year-old Valerie, who got busted for DUI right in her own driveway after convincing herself that old age meant immunity from the law and a free pass to get skyhigh on booze and drive. >> Okay. And you saying you haven't taken any drugs, any medication, drinking alcohol, nothing like that? >> Oh my god. >> Face in the back of my car. >> That's what under arrest means. that calls. I have to get my glasses back up. >> No, no, you're not. >> You're not You're not Have a seat on the chair. >> Have a seat in the chair. >> On April the 29th, 2024, Mount Vernon officers rushed to a home after a troubling call came in about a 63-year-old woman who was as wobbly as a newborn deer on ice, but somehow thought keeping her engine running was a brilliant idea. And by the looks of things, she was seconds away from turning her driveway into a demolition zone. It's the police department and the fire department. You okay? >> I'm I'm trying to get my I'm trying to get my >> Are you Are you having a any kind of medical issue right now? >> No, I'm not. >> Okay.

And you saying you haven't taken any drugs, any medication, drink any alcohol, nothing like that? >> Oh my god. I have not taken any drugs, any medications. I had a burger tonight. >> Okay. The the reason I'm asking is your speech is extremely slurred while I'm talking to you. >> No. >> Okay. I have a firefighter nephew and >> she says she doesn't need any kind of medical. You guys can clear. >> No, I just want to go home and go in the garage. >> Okay. Can I get Can I get the key fob? >> No, you cannot. >> Okay.

No, because I have three key fobs. >> Valerie was clearly in a world of her own and so far gone that nothing the officers said or did even registered, but her little drunken orbit was about to collide headon with reality. >> Val, are you willing to do a standardized field sobriety test? >> No, no, no, no, >> no. Oh, and what's funny is because I did have years ago. >> Years ago. >> Oh. Oh, God. >> Are you willing to do a preliminary breath test so I can make sure I can see you get anything to drink today? >> No, no, no, no. I I have to explain this to you. >> Okay.

And Valerie. >> No keys, right? >> No. I can knock son might be home is what I'm getting from the car. >> What did uh what did RP say after the driving? >> Afterward, the officers tried to wrap up the scene and get her transported, hoping the ride to the station would tame her attitude. >> Are you uh is Valerie your mom? >> Yeah. >> What's your name? >> I'm Dylan. >> Dylan. Dylan, I'm Officer Serrano. Uh she was just arrested for DUI. >> Okay. >> Uh but her [music] purse has her keys. Can you secure her car? >> Yeah. >> Just grab the keys and make sure it's locked.

My car was in my driveway, but I'm fine with all it. And I'm fine. Oh god, those things really don't. They hurt my wrist so bad. My wrist is bad. Valerie seemed calm for a minute and the officer even walked her through her rights at the moment her liquor heavy system caught up with her frail frame. Grandma proved she still thought she was still about that life her body retired from decades ago. >> Yes. >> Having these I have read or I have had read to me the above explanation of my constitutional rights and understand these rights. >> So if you understand those, can I get a signature right here for you? >> Oh. Oh, there's called I gotta go back in my car. >> Right. Right up here. >> My My glasses are in my car. >> Okay.

Yes, you're resisting arrest right now. >> No, I'm not resisting. No, that is hard. >> It's out of seat. >> No, I would like Dave, I'm stuck in disregard. >> Not right now. >> So, she's very close to the door. >> Hey, Valerie, I'll let you use the restroom, but you need to step away from the door. Okay. Get out. >> I have to see. >> Okay, we'll let you use the restroom. Okay, >> sure. >> Come on out. The bathroom's right here. >> No, the bathroom.

So, Valer, >> I have a friend who >> we're going to we're going to head into the room over here. Okay. >> No, I have a friend that would take me home. >> Have a seat in the room over here. >> Come on. >> Can I do that? >> Not right now.

No, you are under arrest for DUI and resisting arrest. Nothing's going to change. The process is going to continue as it's going. >> Fine. >> Okay. >> But I've been in the jail cell. >> Yep. I'm finishing the search warrant right now. Okay. I'll get another officer and we'll have them stand by while use the restroom. Okay. Just give me a sec. The officers eventually sent a female officer to Valerie after her non-stop complaints about needing a bathroom break. But her break came with its own special dose of drama, proving that with a drunk granny Karen, even the smallest moments could spiral into chaos. >> Can you back up? >> Back up from the door. Yeah. Can you turn around? All right. Perfect. Just stay facing the wall. Face the wall. Yep, that's perfect. Just stay facing the wall. Okay. You say you need to go to the bathroom. >> No, I I need to pee. >> Okay. >> I've been in the jail cell.

So, you can't get it right now, but after this is all said and done with, then you can get everything back. >> Oh, I would like my purse and my phone >> because I've got someone here to pick me up.

So, you got to keep your hand pointed out like this. You're turning your hand over and it's going to >> Yeah. So, keep it small woman. >> At the time of compiling this documentary, updates on her charges were unavailable. Valerie had her chaotic moments, but she was nothing next to 80-year-old Gerald Dean, a relic of rebellion who squared up to officers like her senior citizen discount doubled as legal immunity. >> I'm 80 years old, youing police. I used to feel sorry for you people and now no [ __ ] >> hilarious. Stop kicking the car. Put your foot down. Put your foot down. Okay. in pieces. >> On March the 1st around 8:30 in the evening in Mundine, Illinois, police pulled over a vehicle for failing to signal and driving with a busted headlight. It sounded like a routine stop. Nothing out of the ordinary, but behind the wheel was 80-year-old Geraldine Roert, and things were about to slide out of the routine lane fast. >> Hello. >> What's wrong? >> Are you okay? >> Yeah, I'm fine. What is going Okay. >> I can't see like all these people were like driving all over the lines and whatever. >> Okay. I I stopped you for a few things when I was I was coming the other way. You had your high beams on at me. >> Well, I did not have Sorry. >> It's okay. I tried to signal you by flashing mine. Um >> but you were you were behind me. >> Yeah, I turned around. >> I turned around. >> Sorry. Um, and then, uh, right here at the light, uh, you have to signal. You didn't signal till till you after you stopped and then you pass past the line there. Are you? And then and then you hit this curve over here. Are you okay? >> Yeah, I'm trying. I'm like all these people are like flashing lights all over the place. I don't know what's going on. >> Yeah. Uh, do you have your driver's license and insurance? >> Yeah, of course I do. >> I did. I I drive I always drive whatever I'm >> all these other people are like driving like in the wrong lane and not signaling or whatever and I I try to do the right thing. Whatever. >> That looks like it looks like this one just expired here. Keep looking for the the new one. Give me a second. Okay. I'll be right back. She had her high beams on coming at me. I tried to flash her to turn them off. So, looks like she turned them off, but then she starts swerving and then didn't signal past the line. She pops this curb and then pops this curb over here. >> Oh, >> yeah. >> What's she saying? >> Uh, she's kind of all over the place right now. She doesn't remember like what I'm asking for and stuff. So, we'll see. I smell a little bit of booze. So far, everything had seemed nice and sweet, but Nana was gearing up to pull a few stunts that felt like she borrowed them straight from a fossil exhibit. >> Hello. Were you able to find your insurance? >> Well, I don't know. That's what I have. Okay. I I have insurance. Okay. >> I have insurance. Yes, I do. >> Okay. You don't have to get upset. >> Yeah, I am upset because why are you stopping me? >> I told you multiple times why I stopped. How much have you had to drink today? >> I'm not much. Okay. I can smell I can smell the odor of uh alcoholic beverage coming from. >> Well, like a long time ago, I had like one drink. Did I have one drink? One drink like 3 hours ago. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I'm going to have you come out of the vehicle. Okay. >> Do me a favor. Just come out of the vehicle. I'm just going to do a couple tests for you. Okay. >> Well, okay. Cuz you know what? I'm 80 years old. Okay. So, >> I understand that. >> You have to take that. I I do take that into consideration. >> So, what do you want to know? >> Um, why don't we come down over here? That way, we're out of the roadway here. >> I'd like you to stand right here. Turn and face me. Turn. Careful. Turn. I'm right here. Face me. Are you able to stand by yourself? >> Yes, I am. >> Okay. Cuz you're having some trouble standing. It's a little concerned. >> You know what? Cuz I'm like I have like the worst day you could ever imagine. Okay. Whatever. I had one drink. One drink. And you know what? If those people serve one drink that's soing strong, that's not my problem. Okay. >> Are you saying that one drink possibly caused you? >> One. No. One drink from like I went there like 3:00. >> Okay. That one drink you think possibly caused you to be impaired or >> uh Yeah. >> Okay. >> Well, no. No, not really. >> Okay. >> I'm like a really good driver. >> Okay. >> I do. I have any tickets against me or anything against me? >> I have no idea. My partner asked me. >> So what is the why are you why I am here? Let me explain. I am here to >> why why did you stop me? >> My partner already explained he stopped you. So I'm here to determine whether or not it's safe for you to continue driving tonight. Okay. >> Can you do me a favor and stand with your feet together just like this? Just stand just like that. [cheering] Can see the tip of my finger. >> Yes, I can. So, what I want you to do is with your eyes and your eyes only, follow the tip of my finger without moving your head. Do you understand? >> Yes. >> Okay. We're going to go on to the next test. Okay. Can I have you step just a little bit back, a little bit further to right here? So, for this test, I'm going to have you walk nine heel to toe steps. >> What? >> I'm going to have you walk nine heel to toe steps down a line in front of you. >> I can't. I'm 80 years old. I can't do that. Okay. Would you like to try? How about I demonstrate? Hang on one second. Ma'am, ma'am. Ma'am, ma'am, here. Hey. Hey. >> You're not done. Come here. >> I just I just did it. >> I'm trying to explain the test. Please walk back over here. If you don't want to do the test, then we don't have as much information to go off of, and then we're going to have to make a decision. >> So, what what are you trying to do? >> I'm trying to make sure that you're not [laughter] impaired and then I let you drive off. Okay. I can't do that. I'm done. Not here. Here I go. >> Hold up. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. >> Your car. Okay. Here. Here. Here. >> Ma'am. All right. Stop. Stop. >> What?

I want you to stand just like this. >> I can't I cannot do that. >> Okay. Then I don't want to have you do something that you say you can't do. >> I can't do that because I cannot do that. I'm 80 years old. >> Why are you doing this to me? >> Because we have a series of tests that we have to do to determine if somebody is impaired. Okay. >> I'm not impaired. >> I am not impaired. >> So based on everything that I'm seeing, I don't wholeheartedly believe that. >> Well, I think I'm a very pretty much good driver. Do I have a good driving record? >> I have no idea. I just mentioned. >> Well, why don't you try? Why don't you try? >> Because that's not how we do this. Okay. >> I'm freezing. >> Okay. You can put You can put your glasses back. >> I'm freezing. >> Would you like to provide a breast sample? >> No. >> For what? For what? >> To help us understand whether or not we can >> No. You know, that would be like the worst thing I could do. >> Geraldine knew that doing the field sobriety test would expose her lies. So from here on, she tried to be very slippery with every move looking like an attempt to wrigle out of her drunk driving fate before it finally caught up to her. >> That's it's basically it's your call. I'm letting you know flat out. I'm not trying to >> Dan, what else you going to do? >> Based on what he said with your driving the order. >> I am an excellent driver. >> You're also going to provide a breath sample or not. Otherwise, we're going to have to go based off of >> everything else. What? What? >> I'll tell you what. You parked up on the curb. You said there was >> because you I want you to understand.

But if there was one thing we all know about Karen's, it's that they do not give up easily. >> Oh my god. Wait until Ma'am, stand off. Stand up, ma'am. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up, ma'am. Come on.

Call theing militia for [ __ ] 180y old woman. >> The officers finally made it clear that the handcuffs fit just fine on adults of any age. But Geraldine wasn't a quitter. If she was going down, she wasn't planning to do it quietly. >> Hey. Hey. What are you doing? >> Stop. What are you doing? >> Stop. >> Stop it. Okay. If you kick me, you're going to get a charge.

[laughter] >> What are you doing to me? >> At this point, the officers knew that they weren't dealing with your average senior citizen. They had a wild, unpredictable, drunken relic on their hands. Every move she made felt like a surprise waiting to happen, and the whole vibe shifted fast. What should have been a plain traffic stop suddenly creeped into major incident territory. >> Quiting fueling me up. >> I'm I'm not. [laughter] >> Okay. Stop. >> Oh, you're breaking my heart. You're breaking. Oh my god. probably good. >> Yeah. All right. >> Yeah, it looks like it. Yeah. >> You're breaking my right arm. >> You going to have a stand? >> Ouch. >> Stop. >> Police.

Then I'm going to sue you for >> Okay. >> Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. >> What? What? >> Oh. Oh my god. >> You just s your feet down. >> Well, if you're inside, we're taking the cuffs off you. Okay. >> Eventually, the officers made it to the station with Granny in one piece, but it was about to cost them their piece. Gerald knew her case was pretty much set in stone at this point. Yet, she still refused to go down without a fight. She was ready to make the booking room her final battlefield. >> So, when you find out that I'm not DUI, >> we'll deal with that. >> What are you going to FIND OUT WHEN I'M NOT DUI? >> I'm not. No. You [ __ ] piece of >> Hey, hey, hey, hey. Sit down. Sit down. Just stay seated. Okay. >> Oh, how many of you take >> Just stay seated.

That's all you have to do. >> Yes. Exactly. >> Okay. You stand up. I'll take them off. >> Wait. Wait. My nose itching. My [snorts] Thank you. Yeah. I can't believe this. >> Eventually, Geraldine Robert was charged with felony aggravated battery to a police officer, misdemeanor DUI, reckless driving, battery, and resisting. Next up is a granny Karen who was way too drunk to stand on her own or make sense of her surroundings. And yet somehow she still expected to get special treatment after ramming another vehicle. >> One, two, three. >> It's It's really not funny. I don't I don't get why it's I don't get why you're smiling. >> I'm smiling. >> You come You come up here and just hang out in the parking lot and just have a have a drink. You you have a drink in the parking lot and then listen to the radio. >> On the 2nd of May 2023, a Verona, New Jersey police officer responded to what looked like a simple car crash inside a parking lot. At first glance, nothing seemed unusual. But the moment the officer started watching everyone involved, the foul play was so obvious that even a blind man would have been able to call it out. >> I go in. I forgot my water bottle. I walk out to this. >> Okay. What happened? >> I'm okay. >> How'd you hit this car? >> What were you doing? He just drove right into a car. Well, you crashed your car. >> Still need your uh license. >> How much have you had to drink today, man? Couple shots. When did you have those? Were you on the car? I see one on the back there.

After getting Granny safely tucked into the cruiser, the officers turned their attention to the other driver, hoping to get a clearer explanation and piece together exactly what had gone down in the chaos of the parking lot. >> Okay, sir.

Give me one second. Okay, sir. Eventually, she was charged with five violations, including DUI, careless driving, reckless driving, failure to produce a driver's license, and delaying traffic. Unlike her predecessor, who was lost in a high, the next Granny Karen took old age entitlement to a new extreme by flat out ignoring officers during a DUI investigation. >> I want to see the evidence cuz I don't know what you're talking about. >> I've been like 40 years. I love you guys. >> I've been backing you guys forever. I know so many people in the police department. >> I'm not stepping out of the car. >> Okay, then you're under arrest >> for what? Well, can I add my Wait, hold on one second. >> On June the 13th, 2025, officers pulled over a vehicle after spotting multiple traffic violations. It was clear something was off. Either the driver's judgment was seriously impaired or the car itself was on its own kind of trouble. >> Hello, I'm Officer Alley Police. Reason I'm stopping tonight, when you were over at Dole uh at the four-way stop sign, >> you stopped. Your whole vehicle was in the crosswalk.

Do you mind you I don't want you to drop any stuff in there. I just want to talk to you outside the car real quick. >> Why do you want to do that? >> Uh just cuz just with all of your driving and stuff and some of the things I'm seeing. I just want to make sure you're okay. I just want to talk to you outside of the car. >> I'm actually fine. >> Well, yeah. I need I just like I said, >> I don't see anything that you that I've done.

Yeah, it's Dole and Woodstock. You're all the way in the intersection. >> Okay. >> Well, I'm always, you know, I ride a motorcycle. >> Fair enough. But then when you're coming up and you're driving in two lanes and then when I'm hitting the lights >> Yeah. When you turned onto this street, you were straddling both lanes. >> No, I wasn't. >> Yes, you were. I was right behind you. >> I don't think so. >> So, like I said, I just want to talk to you outside. It's not the end of the world. >> No, no, no. I'm giving you a cordial I'm giving you an order so that we can have a cordial conversation. >> An order? >> Yes. I'm giving you a lawful order that you need to step out of the car. >> What I'm saying is when you're on a traffic stop, I have the right to ask you to step out of the car to talk. >> I haven't been on a traffic stop at like correct. What I'm explaining to you is yes, it's Pennsylvania versus Mims is a Supreme Court case law that says on any traffic stop, I have the right as a police officer as long as I have you lawfully detained, which I do on two moving violations to ask you to step out of the car to talk to. >> What are the moving violations? >> Improperly lane in usage and improper turn. >> Do you have it on a GoPro? >> It's on a dash cam and on my body cam. >> Do you mind if I see it? >> No, because my body my body and dash cam are still doing. >> So, you need to exit the vehicle right now.

In order to be able to show it to you, I would have to turn that off. >> I'd like to see what I did wrong because I don't really think I did anything wrong. >> Yes. But so this is where we're at right now is you need to exit the vehicle and talk to me. >> I'm not exiting the vehicle. >> Okay. If you don't exit the vehicle, I'm going to open your vehicle, take you out, and place you under arrest. >> I don't think you can do that. >> I can legally do that. You'd be obstructed because I've given you a lawful because I'm telling you because I'm seeing things that could be indicative of impairment. >> Well, I'd like to see what you're talking about because I don't see any reason. >> Stop at the stop sign. >> So, so come talk to me outside of the car and we can I can explain it to you. Okay. >> No, I don't like this. Now, you know, I'm hugely back the blue. We ride in all these like >> charity events for you guys and I'm like I don't understand because number one I've been living here for I don't know 40 years. It's just I told you it's like a bad habit that I just like drive because I know where I'm going. >> Years of experience had taught her that these encounters always ended the same way. Something she seemed all too familiar with. But at this strange hour of the night, she was dead set on doing things her way. So, why are you so apprehensive about just having a conversation with me outside of your vehicle? >> I'm not apprehensive about it. I just think I know my rights. >> No, it's actually not your right. Uh, you have the right to you have the right to remain silent. You have many rights, but the right to sit in your car after I've lawfully told you you have to get out. >> Well, you're telling me, but you're not willing to show me the evidence. >> How can I show you the evidence if you're still sitting in the car? >> How about you show me the evidence first and then I be willing to get out of my car? >> That's not going to happen. So, you need to exit the car. Otherwise, we're going to take you out. But we call your sergeant. >> Okay. >> All right. >> 371 from 301. Uh, my driver's asking for you. >> No. >> Okay. >> No, no, no.

I don't know what he's talking about. Like >> So So you So >> I don't know what he's talking about. So I want to see what he's talking about. >> I can explain to you.

I'm going to tell you right now. We're not going to stop my body cam or my dash cam to show you the evidence. Okay. I saw it with my own eyes.

He's giving you a lawful order, which we are allowed to do, for you to exit the vehicle so we can continue his investigation. If you refuse to do that, you will be arrested for obstructing an officer. >> I'm not obstructing an officer by not exiting my vehicle. >> Yes, you are. The officers laid it out plain. Her stubborn streak was only digging her deeper. With that laid out, they hoped that this time she wouldn't pick defiance as her next move, as it would out her in a position she wouldn't love to be in. >> Yes, you are. >> He has given you a lawful order to exit the vehicle. >> I know my rights.
