Lily Romero was too fat to walk a few blocks but drunk enough to get a DWI on a scooter

Lily Romero was the first person accused of driving drunk on an electric scooter in Albuquerque, and police lapel video shows once she was being investigated for DWI, her demeanor changed. “Get a real job you f****** d*** head,” those are the words Romero yelled at officers from the back of a cop car, and she didn’t stop there.

Two weeks ago, an Albuquerque police officer stopped the 27-year-old near Lomas and Second Street. According to the criminal complaint, he caught her going the wrong way down Second Street while driving an e-scooter. Romero told the officer she was coming from Marble Brewery where she had two beers. She said she was with a group of friends, who left her behind, and that they were headed to another bar on Central Avenue.

Even after she was in handcuffs, Romero continued to mock the officer’s decision to arrest her. “Okay, I went down the wrong way. Take me to jail,” she said. Meanwhile, the officer assured her that’s exactly where she was going. “That’s where we’re going it sounds like,” he said.
