Night stand defense: Don’t forget this one ladies

Night stand defense for ladies:    A woman was acquitted of driving drunk in San Franciscoâ€s South of Market neighborhood.

 She had been fleeing from an abusive boyfriend at the time of her arrest, the city public defenderâ€s office said.

Paulo, an Oroville resident (Butte County), had been visiting San Francisco with her boyfriend to attend a 49ers game and celebrate the boyfriendâ€s birthday, said her attorney, Deputy Public Defender Abe Abed.

They left the car near their hotel at Sixth and Minna streets to go out drinking.

The couple went to  the Crazy Horse Gentlemenâ€s Club on Market Street  crazy horse  where the boyfriend was ejected when he would not stop spitting chewing tobacco on the floor.

Outside the strip club, he grew belligerent at Paulo. He accused  her of taking the bouncers†side, Abed said.

She left him and went back to the hotel, where she fell asleep.

When her boyfriend returned, he attacked her, throwing her into a night stand, Abed said.
