Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
FERNDALE, Mich., Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Police in Michigan said a woman whose driver's license was suspended 45 times was arrested while driving a reported stolen car with a beer on her lap.
Ferndale police said Renee Lashon Beavers, 33, of Detroit, had a 24-ounce can of beer on her lap when an officer spotted her driving the 1999 Dodge Stratus and pulled her over just after midnight Tuesday, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
Beavers told police she purchased the car from a woman at a shelter in Adrian, Mich., for $1,000 and took the vehicle despite the other woman's demand for an additional $400. Police said they found an unsigned title to the car in its glove compartment.
Investigators said Beavers' driver's license was revoked after it was suspended 45 times in Detroit and its suburbs.
Lt. William Wilson said police are planning to ask prosecutors to press charges of driving with a suspended license and having an open container of alcohol in the car.
