Utah woman allegedly flashed her breasts and offered trooper $1K for her freedom charged with bribery
A woman in Utah hit with misdemeanor drug charges in connection with a DUI stop last winter now also faces a felony bribery charge.
Christina Nicole Vanatta, 30, was driving her Jeep along I-80 on Jan. 27, 2021, when she “struck the median and then struck a semi-truck,” Salt Lake City’s KSL-TV reported, citing charging documents.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers noted Vanatta “swayed while standing,” slurred her speech, and had glassy, bloodshot eyes.
When troopers took the woman into custody to administer a blood test, one wrote in a booking affidavit that “she offered me $1,000 dollars to let her go” and “while at the office, she offered to show me and a female trooper her breasts,” Deseret News reported.
