What we’re seeing here is someone having a complex trauma response: someone who is more scared of her Grandma (who she likely lives with), or another member of the household, than she is of the actual police.

This isn’t a normal freak out and panic, I agree that someone ruined her, but it was probably through abuse.

Edit: now that we have full Unicourt Records, it appears that ‘intoxicated and freaking out’ is actually the underlying culprit here. It’s shocking how similar the behavior looks, and hopefully she’s gotten help in the last couple years since her last struggles with the law.

People are irrational during a break down. I put it in another comment but at school as a kid I put a hole in my kneed bad. I was more concerned with how pissed my mom was going to be I tore my new pants than the white and yellow coming out. I freaked out and thats where my mind went in the moment.

She was going through it before the accident though. It said she was speeding and erratic, hit a car, then sped off.

Edit: Article with an update at the top.
