Woman DUI Hits Two Cops Trying to Catch a Robber

61-year-old Mary Lindsay was driving through an Allapattah neighborhood when she plowed her car though the middle of a blocked off area and hit two officers who were assisting in the take-down of a robbery suspect. Lindsay also hit a police car near the corner of Northwest 41^st Street and 17^th Avenue.

Miami Police Sergeants Robert Laurenceau and Orlando Villaverde were both sent to the hospital by the injuries they sustained from Lindsay. Laurenceau, 35 and an officer for 16 years, suffered injuries to his head and possibly his spinal cord and remains in the hospital. Villaverde, 45 and an officer for 20 years, has been discharged after suffering broken ribs and a broken clavicle.

Lindsay was charged with two counts of driving under the influence, DUI with serious bodily injuries, and DUI property damage. She has been released on a $12,000 bond.
