How to use scatterbrained in a sentence?

  1. Newport Beach police:

    San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office spokesman Christopher Lee confirmed to Fox 11 the following: A member of our office was involved in an incident that is currently under investigation. Lee declined to comment further. A law enforcement source told the local news station that the woman was about to give closing arguments in a gang murder trial and may have been targeted by gang members and that she's been followed before. I heard things coming out of her mouth like, 'Was I raped?,' 'I was unconscious. I don't know how long,' 'Are they here?,' 'Are they coming?' Still a little scatterbrained, Cary said. We turned around and saw a woman who could barely walk covered head-to-toe in blood.

  2. Frank Allen Glover:

    Apparently, I chickened the f*** out and didn’t make it there. Started partying instead. I was pretty f****** scatterbrained, it’s f***** up the way things happened, but it happened out for the best.
