A 42-year-old suburban mom is in a detox facility Wednesday night after registering a .40 when police stopped her Tuesday afternoon in Inver Grove Heights. A shopper at the Cub Foods grocery store in West St. Paul called police after she saw the woman and her young son in the frozen food aisle.
"He was saying mommy, I want to go home. Let's go home mommy,'" said a woman who called 911. "I went up to her and asked if she was okay and she didn't answer me. She was like stumbling. So, I had my instincts kicked in."
A few minutes later, police stopped the mom in her vehicle on Highway 110, less than a mile from the grocery store.
Police said a field sobriety test showed she was five times the legal limit for someone to be driving. They said she refused to take additional DUI tests and was taken to a detox center.
She could face gross misdemeanor charges for refusing to take the tests and possibly child endangerment charges.
Police are not releasing the identity of the driver as they continue to investigate the case. They praise the citizen for coming forward and calling them before the driver got into an accident.
Te 911 caller was still shaken and did not want her name released. She said she is relieved she was able to get the woman off the street without anyone getting hurt.
"Hopefully, I saved lives by doing this," said the 911 caller.
A veteran Inver Grove Heights officer said he has seen only one other person with an alcohol level registering that high in his entire career.
Remember....I’m on the phone with the 911 operator...
Well, that’s what I get for believing the local media...
:-)
“Is there a pic of this Mommy of the Year?”
Not yet....
Well, we can then compare her to motherFAIL of the drunk 4 year old thief.
