Perhaps it's notable that Fresno is the home of Free Republik. :)


A Fresno television news anchorwoman has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and two counts of felony child endangerment after officers found her passed out in her SUV with her two young children inside, Fresno police reported Tuesday.

Breath tests for Susie Frankeberger, 44, a noon anchorwoman on KGPE, Channel 47, showed a blood-alcohol content of 0.32% and 0.31% when she was arrested Sunday night in north Fresno, said Jeff Cardinale, a police spokesman. The legal blood-alcohol level in California is 0.08%.

Frankeberger became combative with officers who handcuffed her and tried to put her into a patrol car, Cardinale said. Frankeberger refused to walk to the patrol car and had to be carried, he said. She allegedly kicked one of the officers in the chest.
