Drunk South Carolina real estate agent, 32, tries to talk her way out of a DUI arrest telling police she's a 'very clean, thoroughbred, white girl'

An inebriated South Carolina woman who was pulled over for running a stop sign and speeding over the weekend thought she could get police to let her go by listing what she deemed her many achievements, among them that she was a 'very clean, thoroughbred, white girl.'

But officers with the Bluffton Police Department were unimpressed by Lauren Cutshaw's supposed bona fides and arrested her anyway for traffic violations and marijuana possession.

According to an arrest report, Cutshaw, 32, was stopped on Boundary Street in Bluffton just before 2am on Saturday after she was observed going 30mph over the speed limit and blowing past a stop sign.

When officers approached the woman’s vehicle, they noticed that the driver's eyes appeared bloodshot and glassy, she was slurring her speech and the interior of her car reeked of alcohol.

Cutshaw, who works as a real estate agent, told police she had only imbibed two glasses of wine.

When the officers asked the woman to specify how full were the glasses, Cutshaw, who turns 33 on Thursday, vaguely replied, 'I mean, I was celebrating my birthday.'

Cutshaw reportedly failed field sobriety tests and a Breathalyzer showed that her blood alcohol level was .18, which is more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 in South Carolina.

According to the police report obtained by Island Packet, Cutshaw then attempted to talk her way out of jail, telling the officers that she had perfect grades her whole life, she was a cheerleader and a sorority girl, she attended a 'high accredited university' and was a member of the National Honor Society,’ and she mentioned her partner is a police officer.

Apparently desperate to avoid getting locked up, Cutshaw included in her long list of her perceived accomplishments that she is a 'white, clean girl.'

When an officer asked how that information was relevant to the matter at hand, she reportedly replied, ‘You're a cop, you should know what that means.'

‘Making statements such as these as a means to justify not being arrested are unusual in my experience as a law enforcement officer and I believe further demonstrate the suspect’s level of intoxication,’ the officer wrote in the report.

Having failed to sway police, Custhaw was booked into the Beaufort County Detention Center on charges of driving under the influence, speeding, disregarding a stop sign, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

According to her LinkedIn page, Custhaw has a Bachelor’s degree in business administration from Louisiana State University, where she was philanthropy chairman at Delta Zeta sorority.
