Brittany Hamilton’s Third DUI Case

A woman facing her third drunk driving charge since December is now tangled in a web of felony and misdemeanor accusations after a reckless May incident in Johnson County. Witnesses saw her blue Buick hit an SUV, then an off-duty officer caught her swerving, drinking from a thermal cup, and driving with her 10-year-old son in the backseat. She was slurred, confused, and later found with marijuana in the car. Charges include neglect of a dependent, operating while intoxicated, and leaving the scene — all tied to her pattern of driving under the influence. Separate cases in Hancock and Lawrence counties add to the mounting pressure, including an alleged crash that injured a pregnant woman and another where she allegedly sped with her child. She’s scheduled for court Monday — and this is just the latest chapter in a dangerous, escalating saga. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
