Pregnant Woman Commits a Kick Ass Citizen's Arrest

A Canadian woman named Amanda Bourque is being hailed a national hero—and she’s crediting her raging pregnancy hormones. After witnessing a Pontiac Grand Prix swerve onto the sidewalk, sending garbage cans flying, a super pregnant Bourque gave chase. She was pretty sure the Grand Prix was being commandeered by either a drunkard or a three-year-old and she resolved to get him off the road as soon as possible.

For ten minutes, Bourque, nine months pregnant, trailed the erratic driver, who tried to dodge her, but to no avail. Eventually, the driver crashed into another car. Bourque used her own car to sandwich him in, and the alleged drunk driver was apprehended by police. Of her vehicular heroics, Bourque commented, “I was so mad that he tried to run me off the road, just absolutely furious. And being hormonal, it’s a little bit worse.”

The Ontario Police Constable has said she’ll nominate Bourque for a public service award. But I’m thinking bigger. Adventures of SuperPreggo comic book, anyone?
