One daughter learned a hard lesson about driving while intoxicated, discovering that neither being a Sheriff’s daughter nor the captain of her soccer team exempted her from following the rules of the road.

Officers caught up with 21-year-old Teresa Lee at a Wawa back in December 2022 after an onlooker saw her white car slam into a traffic light and speed away, her bumper falling off after the collision.

At first, Lee denied that she hit the light, adding that she enjoyed only one beverage during a trip to a local Applebee’s. “I had a drink,” she told one of the two officers apprehending her, arguing that her bumper had actually fallen off a month earlier.

“Your bumper’s in the road over there, okay?” one of the cops stated before asking her whether she “just hit that pole over there.”

“No, I promise you, I did not,” said Lee, who had made several mentions that her father, John Lee, was a Sheriff.

“You can call my dad, he’s a Sheriff’s Officer!” she said as they aligned the piece of the bumper left behind to her car.

“That’s great, you just smashed a traffic light,” one cop fired back.

Even with her ever-shifting stories, Teresa later admitting to having hit “something” after leaving Applebee’s as well as texting while driving, the officers decided to give her dad a ring. Unfortunately for the sports star, her father appeared to have little sympathy, standing back as she failed a series of sobriety tests.

“Dad, dad! I’m the captain of the soccer team,” she said as the officers shuttled her away in handcuffs moments after arresting her for a DUI.

Moral of the story? Nepo babies may get a whole lot of perks, but a get-out-of-jail-free card isn’t one of them.
