Allegedly inebriated lady driver said gobble gobble turkey when stopped by police officer

At 4am last Saturday, an Ohio police officer spotted a vehicle driving with its front right tyre off the road. As the officer followed the car, the tyre tore completely off the rim.



Undeterred, the driver continued moving, “leaving gouge marks in the roadway,” according to a police report. When Officer Matthew Downing pulled over the car, he noticed that driver Jessica Sorensen, 24, “exhibited signs of impairment.”

The officer’s observation appeared to be confirmed when he asked Sorensen how much she had to drink. Sorensen replied, “Gobble gobble turkey,” according to the North Ridgeville Police Department report.



Sorensen was then arrested on drunk driving and unsafe vehicle charges, and her car was towed from the scene. She was stopped about six miles from her family’s home in North Olmsted, a Cleveland suburb.
