Twi-Hard Teen Blames DUI On Missing Breaking Dawn
Say you're a teen Twilight devotee. Ever since last year's Eclipse, you've been counting down the days until Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner reprised their roles for the long-awaited, demon fetus pregnancy installment in Stephenie Meyer's fluffy vamp franchise. Your boyfriend promised he would take you to Breaking Dawn -- Part 1, only at the last minute he bailed (typical!) and you missed the one thing that was getting you through a particularly rough and angsty period of your adolescence. What do you do?
If you're 18-year-old Olivia Christina Ornelas of Illinois, you hit the bottle and hop in your car to clear your mind. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that cops found the car that Ornelas had been driving in a ditch near Route 71 shortly after midnight last Saturday. Police report that the devastated Twihard was driving without her front right tire and explained that "she was extremely upset with her boyfriend because she did not get to see the new Twilight movie as they were supposed to do."
According to the Huffington Post, Ornelas is being charged with driving under the influence and unlawful consumption of alcohol by a minor. No word yet on whether the 18-year-old caught Breaking Dawn after she posted $300 bond, or if she forgave her boyfriend.
Either way, Movieline recommends that 1) You don't depend on your boyfriend or any non-Twi-Hard to see a Breaking Dawn -- Part 1 screening and 2) You never resort to drinking and driving. While I'm on the subject of outrageous blockbuster-related crimes , you also shouldn't try to carjack a plainclothes police officer and claim it was part of The Dark Knight Rises production.
