The 11 Craziest Pregnant Women in News Report History

Anybody who has another human being growing inside them for nine months has the right to go a little crazy. But these pregnant women have taken their crazy nine-month phase to a whole new level. From drunk-robbing a taco shop with a hammer to getting into a full-on fist fight at a parking lot to getting their fourth DUI, these pregnant maniacs prove that expecting a baby does not always lead to self-improvement. Here are the craziest pregnant women in news report history.

So what's the craziest thing a pregnant woman has done? That remains to be seen but there's no doubt that if a pregnant woman does something bonkers, she'll end up on this list.

Nicole VanNeil couldn't seem to kick the habit of drinking and then driving, even while pregnant. In 2008, the 22-year-old got her fourth DUI while eight months pregnant. Her other three DUIs were all before she reached the legal age of drinking.

A video released by the Hillsborough County Sherriff's Office shows a visibly pregnant VanNeil failing miserably at a sobriety test. The young woman also refused to give consent for blood and urine tests, and when police searched her car, they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia hidden under her seat and the center console.

VanNeil was ultimately charged with DUI, possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In 2010, a pregnant (and highly intoxicated) woman named Julie Bailey tried to rob a Taco John's with a hammer. She was so inebriated, though, that she couldn't even start the robbery before it came to an end. Apparently, she had some trouble getting the hammer out of her shorts when she demanded the Taco John's teller to hand over some cash, and a soft shell taco.

After her major fumble Bailey tried to get away, but the cops quickly caught up with her. To make matters worse, this all happened when Bailey's roommate threatened to kick her out if she didn't come up with enough money to buy crack cocaine.

In January 2008, a 19-year-old pregnant woman in New Zealand decided to get drunk. Then, she and three of her friends were stopped by a cop, and she was charged with a DUI.

Her blood alcohol level was five times the legal limit – the point where most people actually lose their consciousness and sometimes die – but she was behind the wheel because all her other friends in the car were even more drunk or passed out.

For Silvia Mendez-Perez, there couldn't have been a more convenient time to go into labor. Right after being caught for shoplifting at a Meijer store in Indianapolis in 2010, the 18-year-old pregnant teen's water broke and she was promptly taken to the Wishard Hospital.

The police also found out that she and the 18-year-old man accompanying her both only had a Mexican Consulate identification, drove a car that was not registered under either of their name, and did not have a valid driver's license.

Though she didn't quite get out of her jam completely because the police issued a warrant for her arrest after she delivered her baby, she did get a few minutes (hours) of freedom (pain) before being handcuffed and taken away.

Contrary to popular belief, Chuck E. Cheese is actually more of a playground for adults than it is for children. Especially when flasks, fighting, and pizza are involved.

Eighteen-year-old Juaneka Key was pregnant and at Chuck E. Cheese celebrating her two-year-old son's birthday. However, the party soon turned sour when a woman asked how long she was going to take at the vending machine. Key took offense, and a fight broke out. Key's step-dad, Terence Dickerson, punched the woman in the left eye, and Key's mom, sister and boyfriend also joined in the scuffle.

Key and all four of her family members ended up getting arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and inciting a riot.

In 2010, two unnamed pregnant women got into a fight in a Burger King parking lot in Oakland. Soon, other people waded into the fray, with depressing results.

A seven-months-pregnant woman in Massachusetts was arrested for stabbing three people with a knife in April 2010. She took two of her three children to the Manton Heights Housing Project to visit their aunt when she attacked three individuals. The victims, ages 37, 18 and 13, all suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

In a twist, the mother of three also worked as an emergency-room coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Sometimes a mother's love for her kid turns into violence on other people's kids. This was the case for 27-year-old Tiffany Nelson in 2010, who was furious when she found out her son was being bullied by her six-year-old neighbor, Ian Fauncho. The nine months-pregnant Nelson went to Fauncho's house and beat him, leaving him bruised and bleeding.

Nelson was ultimately arrested.

Seven-months-pregnant Rochelle Margaret Hailey was struck with a huge Domino's pizza craving in June 2009. She did what every hungry, unleashed pregnant woman would do when she needs food: she loaded up a gun and started walking.

According to investigation reports, Hailey, 21, went up to a Domino's Pizza assistant manager at 2:17 a.m. and pointed a gun at her, demanding money. Hailey cleaned out the restaurant's safe and ran. She didn't get far before the police caught up to her and recovered the stolen money. She was charged with armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and theft by receiving stolen property.

In 2015, an Arkansas woman named Shavonne Walker stabbed her boyfriend with a pair of scissors. The two had gotten into a fight in the kitchen while the man was making the pregnant Walker a grilled cheese sandwich. He claimed she said, "You ain’t eating anything tonight... you gone die tonight."

Walker claimed the stabbing was in self defense. She was charged with domestic battery.
