Yesterday, Newsday reported that a 25-year-old woman was arrested for after crashing into a utility pole in Central Islip. Nicole Marty was allegedly high on drugs at the time—and had her 9-year-old daughter in the car, too! The daughter was treated for head trauma while Marty was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, possession of a controlled substance, child endangerment, plus "harassment because she injured a police officer who was guarding her after she was taken to Southside for a medical evaluation after booking." Newsday adds, "In her booking photo, Marty can be seen making a lewd gesture with both middle fingers." Newsday censored the photo, but The Smoking Gun has Marty's mugshot in all of its glory (TSG also calls her a "Birdbrain").
