Hughes is accused of driving the ambulance a few miles through town to Bluegrass Liquor Box where she purchased a bottle of Fireball Whiskey in the drive through. The ambulance was too tall for the drive through and she tore the awning off the liquor store.
Hughes was arrested at a gas station. Police say Hughes was very intoxicated when they made that arrest and that she told them she thought she was driving her dad’s work truck, not an ambulance.
