Drunken Woman Exposes Herself, Licks Restaurant Patrons
Woman accused of showing her breasts and buttocks as well as groping and licking restaurant customers.
A drunken Dacula woman ended up in jail after a night of attempted debauchery at two local restaurants.
Gwinnett County Police were dispatched to El Jinete on Liam Avenue at approximately 7:14 p.m. on Dec. 1 after the manager called to advise a woman, later identified as Jana Lawrence, 46, of Dacula, had exposed herself to his customers. The manager said Lawrence left the restaurant and began walking toward Dacula Road.
The responding officer arrived at the scene in time to see Lawrence being escorted out of nearby Friends Sports Grill.
“I smelled a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from her person,” the officer wrote in the arrest report.
Lawrence reportedly told the officer she had recently been released from prison and had been watching the UGA game at another restaurant. Lawrence allegedly insisted she did not know why the police officer wanted to speak with her.
The officer subsequently spoke with the manager at El Jinete who explained that Lawrence began yelling and using profanities while at the bar. The manager told police Lawrence exposed her breasts to other customers and licked one of the female customers.
The female customer confirmed the manager’s account of Lawrence’s behavior and said that Lawrence had been “rubbing” on her and had rubbed her genital area.
Lawrence eventually left El Jinete and walked next door to Friends. The manager of Friends said Lawrence was sitting at the bar with her buttocks exposed. When told she had to leave because she was exposing herself, Lawrence reportedly pulled her pants down even further. The manager further advised that Lawrence had licked one of her customers before being asked to leave.
Two men who had been seated on either side of Lawrence at the bar told police Lawrence had inappropriately touched them. One of the men said Lawrence had licked the tattoo on his arm, the other said Lawrence had “playfully rubbed her hand against his penis.”
When informed she was under arrest, Lawrence reportedly replied, “What the [expletive deleted] are my charges?” The officer listed the charges and placed Lawrence in the back of the patrol car.
“[Lawrence] immediately began spitting on my middle partition and striking her head against the door window,” the officer wrote in the report.
Lawrence reportedly continued to yell at the officer, repeatedly calling him derogatory terms for homosexual males and people of African-American descent.
“Later during the ride [Lawrence] said that she was going to sue me because she had been to prison. [Lawrence] also said she would bury me under the jail,” the report stated.
Lawrence also allegedly said she was glad to be going to jail because her husband “beats her ass” and would be unable to do so while she was incarcerated.
Once at the jail, a female deputy instructed Lawrence to stand against the intake wall to be searched. Lawrence reportedly replied by asking the deputy if she wanted a girlfriend.
Lawrence was booked into the jail on charges of sexual battery, simple battery, public indecency and public drunkenness. She remains jailed on a hold for another agency.

No arrest is funny. Consider the feelings of the family of the person arrested, even if that person did not. Do you believe the family thinks it is funny?

Jana mentions her husband "beats her ass". Domestic violence is no joke and I mentioned in the Chief's Belcher story to get help now if you are a victim. This behavior is not what I had in mind as a way of asking for help…but I guess it might work.

This is obviously a troubled woman. At the same time, no woman deserves to be battered. As the owner of Friends, I want to make it clear that we immediately asked her to leave and that she was refused service as soon as she came in.

This is a troubled women who has been arrested multiple times usually under the influence. I have seen her at Fatso's doing the same sort of stuff a year ago. So do you list on 2012 Funniest Arrest or does one become her AA sponsor? She is drinking this much to not remember for a reason.... It amazes me how someone's troubles can be someone's laughter.

Dana/Elizabeth – I understand your sentiments. Making fun and laughing at someone else’s problems can be cruel and insensitive. Her problem, however, is a direct result of her individual choice to behave and act in such a poor manner. Does she deserve our sympathy or our ridicule? Maybe the answer is whatever works to help her get better, but since I do not personally know her I do not know the answer. I pray she gets help and turns her life around. But whether it’s her again or someone else, there will be more stories like this one. When I read them, sorry, but I find humor in them. I do not think I am alone. If that makes us insensitive jerks then we will have to live with that.

I'm going to back Mitch up here. The fact is that we live in a cold, cruel world sometimes. How to deal with the insanity that takes place is up to each individual -- you can let it bring you down, you can let it spur you to action, you can try to find humor in a bad situation, etc. The ability to find humor in a bad situation does not mean a person is lacking in sympathy, it is just a way of processing information. Personally, I have seen a lot of misery in my personal and professional life. Frankly, I'd rather laugh than cry when I can.

I'm glad the citizens of this community feel it's ok to publicly shame each other and laugh at other people's unfortunate situations. When I read a story like this I can't help but feel bad for the perpetrator and wonder what brought them to that point, it’s obvious this is a person who needs help, and life probably hasn’t been very nice to her. Instead of asking what you can do to reach out though you people make fun? I can’t understand this... I guess because I’m not a heartless moron. I hope you all find yourselves and handcuffs so that everyone can laugh at you too. Which is guaranteed to happen sooner or later sense this one of the most arrest happy counties in the country.

Well sir:
When you catch me licking a male I’ve NEVER met before in my life and drinking to the point of oblivion and beyond, feel free to post it …
Fact is, in life we ALL serve as examples, some are examples on what to do and others are examples of what NOT to do. Humor can be a teacher, it isn’t always cruel but usually starts with “watch this” or “hold my beer”…
