Tulsa police arrested a woman for D.U.I. Monday after they said she ran a man off Highway 75, then high-centered her car on the cable barrier. This comes, after two other D.U.I.'s and other arrests.

Instead of being remorseful, guilt-ridden or crying at the scene, police said she laughed all the way to jail.

Police said Willissa Harris failed all six field sobriety tests after crashing her car Monday near Highway 75 and 41st Street.

They said she couldn't walk toe-to-heel or in a straight line, kept dropping her foot, going backward, using her arms to get balance and couldn't do the counting test, so the officer handcuffed her and took her to jail.

Records say in August and September of 2008 she was arrested for D.U.I., then, three months after that, she was arrested for selling cocaine.

All three of those cases were bundled together and instead of going to prison to serve her five-year term, Harris was given a chance to go through Drug Court.

However, Harris flunked out after she tested positive for drugs nine times, didn't show up for drug tests seven times and got arrested for going AWOL twice.

They sent her to prison to do her five years, but, she was released six months later.

She was out two months, when police said they stopped her riding in a car that was going 85 in a 65 and there was pot in the car, along with her two-month-old baby and her three-year-old child.

Police said she later admitted to transporting marijuana inside her privates also.

For that, prosecutors charged her in March of 2014 with possession of drugs in the presence of minors; that case is still pending.

Even that didn't keep her out of trouble; seven months later, she's back in jail on a new drunk driving charge, driving without a license and warrants for failing to pay her fines on her previous cases.

A lot of people in a jam like that might cry on their way to jail, but, instead, the officer noted in his report, she said "she had fun doing this (causing the wreck) and that when she was released, she was going to do it again, all while laughing."

The officer said all that talking and laughing Harris was doing, was recorded on his dash camera.
