POMONA – Tatiana Jaimes could tell that her childhood friend was too drunk to drive. So when she saw Telassie Dague take her car keys out in January at a San Dimas bowling alley on Jan. 23, Jaimes grabbed them out of her hand and told her not to drive.
Alan Michael McConnell, Dague’s friend, was standing nearby. He was visibly drunk, Jaimes testified Tuesday in Pomona Superior Court. McConnell “grabbed my wrist and took the keys,” Jaimes said. “He was like, `I’m driving.”‘
Jaimes told him he was too drunk to drive and continued arguing with him until Dague interrupted. “Lassie was like, `Just let him drive,”‘ Jaimes said.
