A drunk real estate agent who allegedly attempted to steal a taxi early last Friday was caught after she was forced to pull over and throw up.
Kinga Tabares, a 27-year-old broker for Douglas Elliman, was apparently so drunk and rowdy when she and a friend entered a cab at Washington and Little West 12th Streets in the Meatpacking District that the cabbie decided to drive the pair to the 13th Precinct station house, DNAinfo reports.
Tabares was reportedly "so drunk she didn't know where she was going," the driver told the Post. But she wasn't too drunk to commandeer the cab the moment the driver stepped into the precinct, allegedly hopping into the driver's seat and gunning it toward Chelsea. Party on.
Where was she heading? We'll never know, since cops caught up with her when she was forced to pull over and vomit out the window.
Tabares was charged with grand larceny, unauthorized use of a vehicle and DWI. She was taken to Bellevue, where she reportedly refused a breathalyzer test.
