Beverly
Chester-Burton, 59, is the mayor of Shivley, Kentucky. She also
teaches school there. Tuesday night at about 11 p.m. she "fell asleep"
(passed out) in the drive-thru at the local White Castle. She hit a
truck and a utility pole on her way out of the drive-thru, causing
significant damage to her car and the pole and other vehicle. She
smelled strongly of alcohol and could not walk a straight line. She
refused a BAC test.
She
at first claimed the accelerator of her car stuck. She also claimed she
hit the pole deliberately to avoid hitting other vehicles. Her story
does not line up with those of multiple witnesses.
She also claimed that she had had two martinis with dinner, more than two hours before the accident.
She
is the first Black mayor of Shivley and was elected in 2018. She was
booked but released the next day. She will be arraigned today.

Two equals four when you're drunk and speaking with cops.
