imageAUGUST 8--After getting collared early Saturday for drunk driving, speeding, and pot possession, Lauren Cutshaw gave South Carolina cops a list of reasons why she should not face charges.

The 32-year-old Cutshaw, according to a Bluffton Police Department report[1], explained[2] that:

  • She had “perfect grades" her whole life
  • She graduated from a “high accredited university”
  • She was a sorority girl
  • She was a National Honors Society member
  • He was "on honor roll"
  • She was a dancer
  • Her partner is a cop
  • She once was a cheerleader

And, if those were not convincing enough reasons to let her walk on multiple misdemeanor charges, Cutshaw closed with these classics:

When a cop asked what she meant by the “clean white girl” remark, Cutshaw reportedly replied, “You’re a cop, you should know what that means.” She added, "You're a cop, you should know based on the people that come in this room."

Pictured above, Cutshaw still ended up in handcuffs despite her bizarre pitch for freedom. Cutshaw, who claimed to have only consumed two glasses of wine, registered a .18 on a breathalyzer test (more than twice the legal limit).

Cutshaw, who lives in Bluffton, a town 10 miles from Hilton Head, was released from the Beaufort County jail Saturday afternoon. She is next scheduled to appear in court on October 30. (2 pages)
