Maybe she was just hungry...

Not sure I have much to add to this story, other than a chuckle you might be able to hear if you listen hard enough.

A Vancouver woman spotted driving erratically near Clackamas was arrested Friday on suspicion she was taking hits from a can of whip cream, Oregon State Police reported.

Witnesses reported the woman was swerving in the northbound lanes of I-205 near West Linn about 12:30 p.m. while inhaling from a balloon and a metal canister, said Lt. Gregg Hastings, a state police spokesman.

A trooper saw the vehicle on
82nd Drive near Southeast Lawnfield in Clackamas and tried to pull it over. But the vehicle took off, leading troopers, Portland police officers and a Clackamas County Deputy on an 80-mph pursuit north on I-205 before pulling off the freeway and stopping in a parking lot in the 9900 block of Southeast Washington. Troopers found a whip-cream dispenser and nitrous oxide canisters in the vehicle

Robin R. Wick, 45, was booked into the Clackamas County Jail on accusations of driving under the influence, reckless driving, attempting to elude and driving with a suspended license.

Perhaps more offensive to me than the sweet tooth she couldn't ignore is the driving with a suspended license...that means she has some kind of heinous past history involving cars and driving while intoxicated.  Looks like another one where only pure, blind luck has kept her from ruining a life, or flat out killing someone.
