Police: Woman Driver Puts Seatbelt Around Case Of Beer, Not Toddler
WKMG NEWS ^ | 2-5-2008

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.

She may not be very pretty now, but she played second fiddle to somebody's case of beer once...

OK, let's sum these up...

1) run a red light

2) smelling a strong odor of alcohol coming from the car

3) she replied, "I never had one."

4) 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

5) Asked if she'd been drinking, she told the deputy, "I had a few."

6) two metal pipes were found in her purse

This woman is either a final candidate for the Darwin award, "hold muh beer" award or both...
