Woman Accused Of Crashing Into 7 Cars, Throwing Beer At Cop

PINELLAS PARK, FL -- Pinellas Park Police say a 51-year-old woman was arrested this week after striking seven vehicles in a parking lot, crashing into a building and throwing a beer at a police officer.

As police cuffed Tammy Lyn Slocumb Jan. 22, officers said she laughed and said, "Now we're having fun."

According to Pinellas Park Police, Slocumb, was driving drunk when police caught up with her in the parking lot of Whetstone Apartments on 49th Street North and 84th Terrace. They say she struck seven vehicles and then crashed into the apartment building. When an officer tried to arrest her, they say she threw an open Bud Light beer can from the car, hitting him in the chest.

She was charged with eight counts of DUI with property damage, seven counts of leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, and one count each of battery on a law enforcement officer and leaving the scene of a crash with injury.

She was taken to the Pinellas County Jail where her bond was set at $15,000.
