Shannon Beador is facing more hardships following her arrest for hit-and-run, and DUI alcohol. Itās been revealed that the Newport Beach Police Departmentās animal control unit are investigating, after they discovered her beloved Golden Retriever, Archie, was in the car with her at the time of her drunken escapade.
Sgt. Steve Oberon spoke to Page Six, who also heard an NBPD public information officer was ālooking into it.ā
Could the law be on Shannonās side?
āWe donāt have animal endangering laws like you would with children,ā Sgt. Oberon explained, ābut we do have animal cruelty laws, so heās going to look into that a little bit further.ā Honestly, it already sounds like Shannon may get away with driving drunk while her dog was in the car. Itās definitely āendangeringā the animal, rather than an act of cruelty. Though one could argue that being around Shannon whenever sheās drunk is an act of cruelty in of itself.
Shannon was arrested on Saturday (September 16, 2023) after being found pretending to walk her dog. She had left the scene of her alleged crime, but left debris and automobile fluid in her wake. That led the authorities straight to her. The fact she was said to be sporting some facial injuries and a broken arm probably also didnāt help her case.
Look, this isnāt something youād wish on your worst enemy. But the fact remains that a car barrelling around a corner at the speed at which Shannon was going is dangerous. If somebody was walking on the sidewalk at the time of the incident, we could be looking at a very different set of circumstances, even more dire than those weāre witnessing. Shannonās said to be seeking help and contemplating rehab. Thatās an excellent first step, but it doesnāt suddenly do away with her actions. Shannon chose to get behind the wheel of that car. For that, there should be consequences. Perhaps animal control getting involved is one of them.
TELL US ā SHOULD SHANNON LOSE HER DOG ARCHIE? OR DO YOU THINK SHE DESERVES ANOTHER CHANCE?
