19-Year-Old Drinks Beer In Back Of Cop Car

A 19-year-old Florida woman made a bad decision while getting a ride home early Monday morning. According to "The Smoking Gun," Tasha Lee Cantrell opened a can of Steel Reserve malt liquor while riding in the back of a cop car. Cantrell was the passenger in a car when the vehicle's driver was pulled over for DUI. A tow truck drove off with her friend's car, prompting Cantrell to ask an officer for a ride home. While taking Cantrell to her house, the officer, quote, "observed Cantrell drinking out of an unknown can." He immediately stopped the car and discovered that she was consuming a Steel Reserve. Rather than take her home, the officer took Cantrell to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office and charged her with underage drinking.
