I posted this on my site but figured I'd share it over here as well. The story is just to strange not to share.

March 11, 2010

 

Internet punsters are celebrating Megan Barnes as

Florida's "Pubic Enemy," others are chattering about

her "razor sharp focus."

 

The 37-year-old Barnes catapulted to instant fame for

an alleged multi-tasking mash-up that earned the

bottle-blonde's mug shot a spot on hundreds of Web

sites.

 

According to a startled Florida Highway Patrol

trooper, Barnes was shaving her bikini area while

driving south on the famed Overseas Highway when

she crashed into the rear of an SUV March 2.

 

'If I Wasn't There, I Wouldn't Have Believed It'

 

In the police report obtained by ABC News, the trim

job was apparently essential because the arresting

officer, trooper Gary Dunick, said the Indiana native

told him she was heading to Key West visit her

boyfriend.

 

"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West

and wanted to be ready for the visit," Dunick told the

Key West Citizen.

 

It gets weirder. In order to pay full attention to her

sensitive regions, police say Barnes enlisted her ex-

husband, Charles Judy, who was riding shotgun, to

hold the wheel.

 

Yes, her ex-husband.

 

Their tag-team driving went awry when an SUV

driving in front of them slowed to turn. Barnes' 1995

Thunderbird smashed into it. Two of the SUV's

passengers suffered minor injuries, police say.

Barnes shouldn't have been driving that Thunderbird,

since she had been convicted the previous day for

driving under the influence and driving with a

suspended license.

 

 

According to the arrest report, it was the sixth time

her license had been suspended.

 

After the accident, Barnes and Judy drove off, police

say. The Thunderbird limped a few hundred yards

before the couple switched seats. "She jumps in the

back seat and he moves over," Dunick told the Citizen.

"It was like the old comedy bit, 'Who's on first?'"

 

But the attempt to claim that Judy, not Barnes, was

driving was also doomed. Judy had visible burns on

his chest he claimed came from the exploding airbag,

but only the passenger side airbag deployed,

according to the police report.

 

So Dunick charged Barnes with driving with a revoked

license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an

accident with injuries and driving with no insurance.

Judy was not charged.

 

According to the arrest affidavit, the trooper asked

her afterward why she didn't hit the brakes when she

saw the SUV. She answered bluntly, "I told you, I was

shaving."

 

"If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it," Dunick

told the Citizen.

 

"About 10 years ago, I stopped a guy in the exact

same spot... who had three or four syringes sticking

out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought,

'Nothing will ever beat this.' Well, this takes it."
