Pants-less perpetrator
Woman arrested for DUI also missing some of her clothing

A Covington woman arrested for driving under the influence was reportedly driving pants-less as well, according to a Covington Police Department report.

Glenda Yvonne Loyd, 55, had reportedly been swerving on Alcovy Road around 6 p.m. April 27 and crossing into the oncoming traffic lane as she headed south, according to a witness description in the report, who told police she had honked to try and get Loyd's attention because she didn't have a cell phone to call 911. The witness described that Loyd had made a wide turn onto Herring Street and jumped the curb, flattening the left front tire of the 1986 Mercury Marquis station wagon, white with wood-grain sides, that Loyd was driving.

When officers responded, in addition to the smell of alcohol, swaying and slurred speech, they found Loyd was dressed only in a white button-up blouse, black button-up overcoat, which ended just below the waist, shoes and no pants.

Though she had to hold onto the car for balance, she told officers she hadn't had anything to drink and was just coming back from church.

When officers asked Loyd where her pants were, she said they were at home and that her church was a "come as you are" church.

During field sobriety tests, she told the officers she had graduated college and knew her alphabet. When she was asked to start with C and stop with Q, she stated "C, Q, R" and asked to start again. On the next attempt, she started with "A," said several letters under her breath, and ended with "Q, P, R, X, Z."

Breathalyzer tests registered readings of .319 and .340 g/210L.

Lloyd was booked into the Newton County Detention Center and charged with a first offense DUI. She bonded out the next day for $1,210.
