There's sisterly devotion, and then there's "your sister would've understood if you'd waited till morning."

And it may have been a joyful reunion, save for the fact that Stang was pulled over shortly after 2am and arrested on charges of DWI—the same charge her sister was held at Stearns for. Stang got brought to the jail as a suspect, not a visitor, and her car was seized for forfeiture. (Unfortunately for her, there were no Nativity scenes left around to hide in.)
