GORHAM (AP) — Police say a Maine woman who was pulled over while wearing a Hello Kitty costume was arrested on a drunken driving charge.
Gorham police say officers stopped 37-year-old Carrie Gipson, of Westbrook, at about 2 a.m. Sunday because she was driving in the wrong lane.
They say she refused to take a breath test and was arrested for operating under the influence. She was taken to the Cumberland County jail.
Her police mugshot shows her wearing a red and white Hello Kitty costume, minus the doll’s mammoth head.
There was no immediate response to a phone message left at a residence believed to be Gipson’s.
