From DWI Arrest to Barbie Jeep!

From DWI Arrest to Barbie Jeep!

When Texas State University industrial engineering junior Tara Monroe had her license suspended last March for refusing to take a breathalyzer test upon leaving a Waka Flocka concert, her father drove to San Marcos and swapped her car for a bike. But Monroe later said, "riding a bike around campus sucks," so she turned to Craigslist, where she found a pink 12-volt battery-operated Barbie jeep that tops out at 5mph. It's owner at the time was a little girl by the name of Charlene. Monroe said, "When we drove up to buy it Charlene asked where the little one was to test drive it to which I replied, 'I am the little one.'" Monroe handed over $60, named the jeep Charlene, and has left a trail of Snapchat videos and Instagram photos in her wake. And though the sight of the 5-foot, 3-inch student spilling over the tiny toy jeep catches people off guard, Monroe says it's fully within character and added, "My friends weren't even surprised because I do stuff like this all the time."
