Girl charged in DUI, chase

11-year-old driver from Perdido Key in 100-mph chase in Orange Beach

Associated Press

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. ? An 11-year-old Perdido Key girl has been charged with driving under the influence after she led Orange Beach police on a high-speed chase.

Greg Duck, Orange Beach assistant police chief, said the Tuesday night chase ? which was caught on a dashboard camera in a police cruiser ? started about 10:30 p.m. in Orange Beach near the Florida line. It ended just inside the Gulf Shores city limits when the girl crashed and rolled the Chevy Monte Carlo she was driving.

Duck said the chase began when a patrol officer saw the car speeding west along Alabama 182. When the officer flicked on his lights to pull the car over, it sped up.

Police said the car sideswiped another vehicle during the chase, which reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour. Investigators said the girl was taken to South Baldwin Regional Medical Center. She was treated for minor injuries and released.

"She left the road here," Fred Lee, a witness, told WKRG Channel 5 in Mobile. "She went airborne (and) didn't come down till she hit that fire hydrant and knocked the two palms down and then came right back up against those two dead palms."

Lee watched the whole thing from his condominium across the street.

"Once the police jumped out with their weapons, they didn't know what they were up against, either," he said.

The girl's name was not released because of her age.

Duck said the girl told police she was on her way to pick up her sister at a concert in Orange Beach.

The case has been handed over to the Baldwin County Juvenile Court for prosecution.

Along with the DUI charge, the girl faces charges of speeding, leaving the scene of an accident and reckless endangerment, Duck said.

Uh, yeah, if your cops can't catch a drunk 11-year-old, you really got to look at your recruiting and training procedures.
