Britni Bunn Facebooked margarita photos hours before fatal drunk-driving crash

By Michael Roberts Fri., Feb. 22 2013 at 5:55 AM

Even before police reps set eyes on the Facebook page, they'd laid the groundwork for arresting Bunn on suspicion of DUI. But shortly thereafter, they discovered she had apparently posted shots of margaritas the previous evening. The first one, seen below, was time-stamped 8:06 p.m. and captioned "YessssssssssssssssssS."

A similar image popped up at 10:38 p.m. under the label "Round two biaaaaaAtCH:"

According to an affidavit referenced by 9News, Bunn is said to have admitted to downing a total of five margaritas while hanging at a local bar with pals before hitting the road, with dire consequences.

The allegations on which Bunn was held are as follows:

Vehicular Homicide/Reckless
Vehicular Homicide/DUI (x2)
Vehicular Assault/DUI (x2)
Vehicular Assault/Reckless
Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance
Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol
Drove Vehicle on Wrong Side of the Road
Failed to Provide Valid Insurance

For those keeping score at home, that's seven felonies, two misdemeanors and a traffic infraction. Bunn made her first court appearance yesterday, with another to follow next week.

Look below to see a 9News piece on Bunn, followed by another Facebook photo and a larger version of her booking shot.

Britni Bunn.

Um....excuse me, Westword, but the man who died was her boyfriend and was in HER car, not the Acura....you guys should get your story straight before reporting things like this!

They aren't her plants. People that have their own plants definitely don't post pictures of them on fb.... Especially with them in it. Just sayin.

I sort of have a Facebook account, but the damn thing made me register so I could use their site. I live in China, and for some reason, the government has blocked Facebook, but if I lived somewhere where the site was allowed, I would never use it.

Posting pictures of dope plants (I smoke dope everyday, but I keep it to myself) and alcoholic drinks does not make one look good to people, especially employers. This dumbass wont have to worry about that because she is going to the pen for the next 10-20 years and will be unemployable (and to ugly for a man and most dykes) when she gets out.

I had a work acquaintence, who was actually a reserve police officer, never been in trouble with the law before (he worked in a casino with me and again was a reserve cop), who went to a birthday party at some suburban Chili's like restauarant, got drunk and ran a woman off the road. Didn't kill the woman, but I think paralyzed her. He got 10 years. Sad.

One way to solve this problem is to make public transportation more accessable and cheap, with decent taxis where one does not have to be rich to take.

Seems like a good reason to me.

Never trust someone who drives drunk down the wrong part of the highway.

I have an account w/ (0) friends . I only registered one for the millions of sites that offer ('INSTA')-registration via the site . I do NOT 'chat' outside of gambling college & NFL games and it has NOTHING to do w/ FaceBook .

@Juan_Leg @BackOffImStarving Let me rephrase that. Never trust someone who posts pictures of themselves drinking before causing a fatal accident on Highway 36... better?
