*Just before 5:40 Douglas County Deputies and Fire Medical crews responded on a single vehicle, rollover accident near mile marker 378 on Highway 40, or approximately one mile west of the South Lawrence Trafficway. Deputies arrived at the scene to report one vehicle was on it's top in the ditch. The driver of the vehicle was said to be out of the vehicle and "staggering around". Medics reported the driver's injuries to be minor.*DRUNK?

How can you publish the name of an accident victim - which is all that has been actually REPORTED and allow posters to claim she was drunk - ? You don't print the names of people who have been arrested, but this is okay??
I don't know anything about what happened, nor do I know the victim, but I am curious...
My first thought when I read the story was since it is late October she might have swerved to miss a deer...
