ROCKLAND, Maine — A 32-year-old Warren woman remained in jail Friday afternoon after being arrested Thursday morning for drunk driving and then spitting on a nurse at the local hospital, according to police.
Bail for Jennifer Marriner was set at $1,000 cash on Friday during a hearing in Rockland District Court.
Marriner originally was charged with assault on a health care provider, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to report an accident, operating under the influence, possession of a suspended license, operating after suspension and violating a condition of release. Bail originally had been set at $2,500 cash by the bail commissioner at the Knox County Jail.
On Friday, the district attorney’s office filed criminal complaints alleging assault, OUI and operating with a suspended license.
According to an affidavit filed by Rockland Police Officer Andrew Redden, the officer found a car on Main Street at 2 a.m. Thursday with a pedestrian crosswalk sign under the vehicle. The officer talked to the owner of the vehicle who said his girlfriend, Marriner, had been at the lounge at the Navigator Motor Inn with him and wanted to leave but he said he was going to finish a game of pool. She took his keys and drove off, crossing the street, striking the sign and ending up on a sidewalk, according to the affidavit.
Witnesses on the street said a woman fled from the car and directed the officer to what direction she went. The officer found her on the grass near the road, according to the report.
When he could not wake her up, he called for an ambulance. When emergency medical staff arrived, she came to and tried to throw her shoe but struck the EMS worker in the face, the affidavit states.
At the hospital, a nurse reported that Marriner had spit in her face as the health care provider was trying to help her.
She needs a new drug of choice, obviously she can not hold her liquor.
she’s probably tried most of them. Too bad she can’t manage to clean herself up, especially since there are two kids that are going to be hurt from all of this.
where did you read anything about two children?
This article doesn’t say anything about children. I do believe though that this is the same woman that showed up drunk to pick her child up from elementary school a couple of months ago.
I know Jen.
So yep she is at it again, wonder when enough is enough…. http://bangor-launch.newspackstaging.com/2012/05/15/news/midcoast/union-mother-arrested-for-coming-to-school-drunk-police-say/
Oh dear. Hon, it appears you have a drinking problem. Get some help before it is to late. If not for you, then for the sake of your kids.
lock that *itch up !
Im glad they are finally cracking down on spitting.Disgusting habit,really…
It is quite clear this woman has absolutely not repsect for the law, society in general and most of all herself. The even bigger problem is that the criminal justice system will not hold her accoutable for her behavior and she knows it. The States budget is broken, state and local correctional facilities are cutting staff due to lack of proper funding. Judges and prosecutors are being told there is no room at the inn so they are cutting deals to simply get the conviction and turning the offenders loose.
When this woman finally does make it into a courtroom her tax payer court appointed lawyer will tell the court what a difficult life she had growing up, that she’s the victim of an addiciton, that her children need her and that she has seen the light and will never do it again. Can you spell DEFERRED DISPOSITION!
If the health care provider is smart she will walk to the nearest court and file a civil suit against this woman.
Isn’t there a remote island somewhere that these type of people can be cargoed to & live forever???
