Shively Mayor Beverly Chester-Burton was arrested Tuesday night and charged with driving under the influence after falling asleep in a drive-thru line, according to police. Louisville Metro Police officers were dispatched to Manslick Road on reports of a vehicle crashed into a pole at about 11 p.m., according to Chester-Burton's arrest citation. When officers arrived, they found a silver Cadillac smashed against a large utility pole, with Chester-Burton standing next to it, the citation said. Witnesses approached the officers and told them Chester-Burton had been asleep in the White Castle drive-thru line, and multiple people had tried

Unlike Rayshard Brooks, she did not fight the cops, take a taser and shoot at the officers. Everyone went home in one piece (except the Cadillac). THIS is how you pass out drunk in a fast food drive through. See? Technique! Safety first, kids!

So what? She'll say "I'm soooo sorry, that just isn't who I am" and life will go on in Shively.
That is. until she sues the by then fired racist cops who responded to the call for setting her up and false arrest for arresting her for eating in public while Black.

Apparently, Ms. Chester-Burton’s party affiliation is not found in the article. Perhaps I read too fast and missed the word “democrat.”

Curious how black politicians LOVE the hyphenated surnames. It's SOOOO uppah class white colonial British.

#13, the hyphenated last name is due to the uncertainty of the paternity, thus giving both men partial credit.

Must admit #14 i hadn't thought of it that way. I wonder how many hyphens we might need. Thought experiment
If Olivia Newton-John married Elton John She'd be Olivia Newton-John-John.
If she divorced him and married Wayne Newton she'd be Olivia Newton-John-John-Newton.
If she divorced him and married Sir Lawrence Olivier she'd be Olivia Newton-John-John-Newton Olivier.
Can I stop now ?

This is infuriating to me, I know it is old news, but I googled this and not ONE left wing media outlet put "democrat" in any headlines.
Republicans who get in trouble always listed in the headlines as R.

I have tried every work-around I know to open the newspaper's website. Cannot be done. I searched for obituaries and was able to see her photo. Can't open the article, though. Have you been able to open Original Article?

Was she going to meet Harold and Kumar there?
Anyway, I’m not black but have been to that White Castle. However, that was a little over 40 years ago when a night in Shively was still survivable.

Lively Shively! Let's just say lots of interesting things happen here. The Dixie Highway (31W) runs through Shively on its way to Ft. Knox. There are so many accidents on a regular basis that it's also called the Dixie Dieway. Lots of strip joints on Dixie Highway, too.

Lively Shively indeed. A couple of the Dixie Hwy girls girls girls joints were just auctioned off this week. Bright orange establishments in decent shape with a fair amount of commercial real estate and bar equipment. Apparently the go go business is gone because they didn't bring much at absolute auction.
