Luz Avilla, 34, of Chickasha, Okla., led cops on a high speed chase this week because she wanted to be booked into a certain jail. The accommodations in Caddo County are preferable to those in Grady County, apparently.

One Boston politician is promoting new legislation that would call on parking attendants to keep drunk drivers off the roads.

Tonight is one of the biggest bar nights of the year as everyone returns to their suburban hometown and heads out to some skanky sports bar they wouldn't be caught dead in the other 364 nights. Then they drive home drunk and get a DUI. Tale as old as time.

"Ornelas advised that she was extremely upset with her boyfriend because she did not see the movie Twilight like they were suppose too [sic]." — Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ornelas explains why she was driving drunk with no right front tire.

When a tow truck found Fredly Misere on the side of a highway in Pawtucket, Rhode Island early this morning, he was asleep behind the wheel with a beer bottle in his lap. When they took him to jail and took his car to the impound lot, they didn't know his two kids were in the backseat.

Cops are people, too. They drive drunk with weapons and swerve across mountain roads at 7 o'clock in the morning just like the rest of us. And this on-duty Colorado trooper was cuffed and stuffed, just like an average Joe.

1990s girl-next-door icon Sandra Bullock and her husband, who is some guy, were struck head on when a drunk driver veered into their car in Gloucester, Mass. last night. The driver's blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit at .20.

When Billy Joel played a concert at the Ross School in East Hampton on Saturday night, he did so to an audience that supposedly had paid $3,000 a piece to see him. The not-so-dirty non-secret is that hardly anyone actually paid for tickets. Certainly Mary-Kate Olsen, crunched up to the front of the stage and looking like a tiny bejeweled bonobo, didn't. Jon Bon Jovi, looking older and hairier than we had ever seen him, probably didn't. Ditto for Steve Guttenberg. Then again, does Steve Guttenberg pay for anything ever? Though the Lizzie Grubman folks firmly refused our photographer Laurel Ptak entry, she did capture the weird scene outside of the concert. It was kind of like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" but with "Piano Man" in the background. Most of the ladies were Eastern European models and had no idea who Billy Joel was. Most of the men would have, in any other context, taken the question "What's your favorite Billy Joel song?" as an affront to their sexuality and have punched you. But things work differently here in the Hamptons. One fella in a striped shirt gamely responded, "Rocketman. That's my favorite song." Well, maybe it's ours too. After, everyone drove drunk.
