Villages, Florida Trump fan Karen Frances Hackett pleaded no contest Tuesday to a charge of driving under the influence in the December 2021 post-Christmas golf cart parade curb crash that left her and a passenger injured, securing a deal that dismissed her disorderly conduct charge, Villages-News.com reports. The saga began at 7:30 PM on December 11, 2021, when Karen, 63, was driving home after drinking all day at the annual Christmas Golf Cart Parade at the Polo Grounds. Karen’s golf cart struck a curb in Lake Sumter Landing, sending her and an unidentified passenger tumbling onto the lawn in front of TooJay’s Gourmet Deli and Sonny’s BBQ. Diners seated on the patios of both establishments watched as Karen screamed “Get me [Governor Ron] DeSantis”, “I’m not vaccinated”, and profanities aimed at President Joe Biden to responding EMTs.
Karen and her passenger were both transported to a local hospital, where the boozy MAGA Villager was “belligerent” toward a nurse. Karen blew a range between 0.246 and 0.249 BAC in several breathalyzer tests, more than triple the legal limit of 0.08 in Florida. Per Villages-News, Karen was sentenced to a six month driver’s license suspension, a year of probation, and 50 hours of community service – the last of which she has asked the court to allow her “buy out” of.
