While on my way to take Jaron to school this morning, a green van came up behind us. It came up pretty fast, so I kept an eye on it. Going down the first hill, she drifted into the other lane. Thank goodness no one else was coming up the hill, because she would've crashed right into them. So, continuing down the hill and around a sharp curve she did it again, this time a car was in that lane but it got out of the way in time. I called 911. I knew she had to be on something. I talked to the 911 dispatcher the whole way down Lake Ca. Drive. The green van kept driving down the middle of the road and on the wrong side. I was so scared she was going to hit someone. She almost hit every car that passed us. The dispatcher asked if I could get her license plate, but I couldn't see it because she was behind me. I finally decided to pull over and let her pass us. She almost side swiped us as she did, but luckily she didn't, and I was able to get her licence plate number. I followed her the rest of the way out. She turned into the Texaco gas station. I told the dispatcher where she went and that I had to take my son to school so I couldn't help anymore. After dropping Jaron off and on my way back home I drove back by the gas station. Two police officers were there with her and giving her field sobriety tests. I pulled in and let them know that I was the one that called 911. They took my information and I went back home. Jacob was pretty proud of me. He was teasing me that I had 1 DUI arrest for the year. (He has over 80 arrests for the year). It felt good to know that I helped get a dangerous person off the road.
