A Brooklyn minister was busted for allegedly driving drunk in the Holland Tunnel on Friday night. And Port Authority police apparently found "a plastic water bottle full of vodka along with hundreds of prescription pills" in the car.
Diane Reiners, who is a priest at St. John the Divine, was stopped by a PA police officer who noticed her driving towards NJ. The Post reports that she was "swerving in her orange 2004 Toyota, hitting the tunnel curbs and at times coming to a stop as she drove to New Jersey at around 6 p.m." Others driving the tunnel were so freaked out that they called 911.
The Post adds, "Officers allegedly found an open container of Absolut on the center console, vodka in a water bottle, 31 pills of the anti-anxiety drug lorazepam prescribed in someone else’s name, and more than 200 pills of tramadol, a potent pain killer."
Reiners was charged with DWI, reckless driving, possession of a controlled substance in a motor vehicle and disobeying traffic laws. She used to maintain a Twitter account with the handle @unrulyminister. While she's apparently shut down the account, past Tweets included, "My shoes never match and I need God’s grace so many times a day" and "For clergy who are vicious and narrow minded in pursuit of their call, we pray."
