“DUI suspect is the picture of entitlement,” The New York Post
headline reads of a South Carolina woman who used her race to avoid a
DUI charge. Lauren Cutshaw appeared in court after she was arrested on
Saturday for driving under the influence of alcohol. Cutshaw
was pulled over initially for speeding and running a stop sign which
led to the discovery that she was drunk and in possession of drugs.
The 33-year-old told officers that she was out celebrating her
birthday and only had two glasses of wine. At the time of arrest,
Cutshaw’s blood alcohol content was at .18 and the drunk driver also was
in possession of marijuana which she was also charged for.
According to the police report, Cutshaw claims she shouldn’t be
arrested because she is a “very clean, thoroughbred, white girl.” When
police asked what that meant she responded by saying, “You’re a cop, you
know what that means.”
Police credited the suspect’s BAC for the reason she was so blatant
in her perceived race-based entitlement. Regardless of her opinion, she
was still booked on DUI charges and as of Tuesday is no longer
incarcerated.
According to the New York Post, Cutshaw’s boyfriend is a police
officer, a fact she brought up as one of her many reasons why she should
not be arrested.
