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.

It may have been good beer, we can't make that judgement yet.

I can drink MGD, and Miller Lite, but that High Life stuff is tough. Probably had something to do with the ridiculously cheap deals the corner store perpetually ran on the 12 packs back when I was in college. Had my lifetime fill of the stuff back then.

Yeah, you gotta have a domestic brand that you can find wherever you are, but I do enjoy import ales & pilsners often. Hardcore beer snobs are routinely disappointed when they find themselves out at some regular type spot.

I also enjoy a thick NY Strip, but I’m not above a hamburger either.

I actually caught myself in “must be a redneck” moment last summer when I was driving to a buddy’s house with a case next to me in my truck. I actually turned most of my A/C vents on the case with only one on me. When I caught myself I laughed my butt off.

I think that makes you smart.
