Drunk Mom Incident

(Mesa, Arizona) A 33-year-old local mom, Checkie Hessel, has been arrested for child abuse and extreme DUI for allegedly getting so drunk that she left her four-year-old daughter home alone, having forgotten she was there.

That arrest came after employees at Mesa's Tots Unlimited Day Care called the police. They said Hessel arrived to pick up her daughter. The problem was she had taken her daughter home more than three hours earlier. [...]

Hessel reportedly admitted to police that she drank 1/2 pint of vodka. She reportedly said that she must have blacked out and forgotten that her little girl was at home.

Putting down a half-pint of vodka on a Wednesday afternoon makes me wonder what she does in the evening.
