The Mankato TV station anchor whose "slurred speech" during a newscast made her a YouTube hit has been arrested for DUI.

The Mankato Free Press says Annie Stensrud, 28, was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated on Wednesday morning.

KEYC, the TV station where Sensrud works -- or worked, it's still not clear -- has since had the video pulled from YouTube.

But here's how Stensrud performed during better times. This is her "demo reel," a video anchors put together to help them get jobs.

There's something fishy about this. Someone called in to report an intoxicated driver?

Bonnie: That is actually very common. My dad is always getting pulled over for suspected drunk driving even though he is always sober- just a swervy driving who other motorists report
