ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A St. Augustine woman pulled over when a deputy saw her run a red light had a case of beer belted in her front seat, but a young child unrestrained in the same vehicle, according to the arrest report.
The deputy who pulled over Tina Williams in the 1700 block of U.S. 1 South about 4:30 p.m. Sunday reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol coming from the car, according to WJXT. When he asked Tina Williams for a driver's license, she replied, "I never had one."
According to the police report, a 24-pack of beer in the front passenger seat of her car was restrained by a seat belt, but a 16-month-old girl was not in a child seat or safety belt. A 19-year-old woman was also in the back seat.
Police said Williams had bloodshot and watery eyes and staggered when she got out of the vehicle. Asked if she'd been drinking, she told the deputy, "I had a few."
Williams failed a field sobriety test but refused to take a Breathalyzer.
After Williams was taken into custody, two metal pipes were found in her purse.
Williams was charged with DUI, child endangerment, driving without a license, running a red light and failure to use a child restraint. The suspected drug paraphernalia was placed into evidence.

Before I get too worked up, what kind of beer? ;-)
You beat me to that one.
I’m guessing it was not Pilsner Urquell.
It’s about priorities! “I looked into the eyes of my beer and I saw my baby!”
Did anybody get her #?
what a piece of trash.
She’s allowed to vote too.
Go Hussein Obama.
If she had a better tan she could have given her name as Juanita Hernandezoza and been wished a good afternoon by the cop.
Trailer trash ping!
You shouldn’t even bump Pilsner Urquel.
You are kidding, right?
She probably wonders when the Army is going to catch him...........
Now here’s the spin that should be on this story: Drunk drug abusing woman runs red light, endangering toddler. Because I’m not into Nanny State rules and regulations about seat belt wearing - I wear mine, my kids wear theirs, my wife wears hers, but I’m not going to order someone else to wear theirs.
Oh, and just so it’s noted: The seat belt law meant nothing to her, just as the drunk driving laws meant nothing, or illegal substance abuse meant nothing...
How is it possible to look thwt old at 19?
Anyway, her priority isn’t her baby. I hope she either developes motherly instincts before she raises that baby to be just like dear old (looking) mom.
Any bets on how much the taxpayer forks over in total to her every month?
How come he didn’t tase her?
I’m guessing either Busch, Old Swillwaukee, or Milwaukee’s Beast.
