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.

"How is it possible to look thwt old at 19?"
The article does not give the age of the woman, only the ages of the woman in the back seat and the child.
"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."
Nor did the article state that the child was hers. My guess is that the woman and her child caught a ride with the driver, who was paid for her services with a much coveted case of beer. ;)

A 19-year-old woman was also in the back seat.
I didn't see an age stated for the driver.

I think there was a19 year old in the back seat with the toddler. I don’t think she is 19.
