Woman Demanded Free Mother's Day Coffee at Wawa, Police Say

Lower Merion Police made four alcohol or drug related arrests between May 8 and May 12, according to a briefing the department provided to the media last week.

• On May 12 at the Wawa in Ardmore , located at 19 Woodside Road, a 58-year-old Ardmore woman with a robust arrest record was charged with public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and an open container violation after an altercation inside the store.
  
  According to Lower Merion Police, the woman shouted profanities at store employees and customers because the convenience store wouldn’t give her a free coffee on Mother’s Day. She was placed under arrests, and taken to police headquarters to sober up, police say.

• On May 12, two Conshohocken men were charged with public drunkenness after an officer found them stumbling around Bryn Mawr, police say.
  
  According to the department, the two roommates, one 20-years-old, the other 21-years-old, were spotted standing in the area of the 900 block of West Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr at 2:02 a.m. Well, police say more like “leaning.” The men appeared, from a distance, to be intoxicated, and when the officer in question conducted a stop to speak with them, they could barely speak or answer simple questions.
  
  According to police, neither could pronounce “Conshohocken,” where they said they were walking. Both men were dirty and disheveled, indicating several falls, and police arrested them in interest of their safety, according to the department.

• On May 11, a 25-year-old Lansdowne man was charged with drug possession after he was pulled over on the corner of Haverford and Remington roads.
  
  According to Lower Merion Police, an officer was on patrol in Penn Wynne when they saw a blue Impala with overly tinted windows and a headlight that was out. The driver was pulled over, and during the stop the officer noticed the man was nervous and smelled like marijuana, police say. While the man initially denied the charge, he eventually reached into his pants and pulled out a small bag of marijuana, police say.
  
  According to the department, a subsequent search of his car didn’t turn up anything else illegal, and the man was charged with disorderly conduct and given warnings for his car.

• On May 8 at 2 a.m., a Havertown woman was charged with DUI and underage drinking after she was pulled over on City Avenue and 66th Street in Overboork.
  
  According to Lower Merion Police, the woman was spotted drifting as she traveled south on City Avenue, at one point stopping for a red light in the middle of an intersection. The officer pulled her over and, due to her slurred speech and glassy eyes, asked her to submit to field sobriety testing.
  
  The woman failed these tests and was placed under arrest, according to police. In the course of the stop, the department also learned that the car’s registration was suspended and the driver did not have insurance.
