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.
Odd are the 19 yr is probably ‘guilty’ too.
Guilty must run in that family. All butt-guilty.
A Hillary voter or an Obama voter?
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.
Did you hear the one about the dad that came running out of the liquor store with a case of beer, whipped open the back door and threw it in forgetting that his baby was in there? Didn’t hurt it at all, it was light beer.
I’ll bet she votes democrat.
She looks like a boxer, check out the schnoz. A genuine “last call” beauty queen.
Too late, the genes have passed.
Was the beer in cans or bottles?
West Virginia transplant.
I just made it on the spot!! ack!
LOL
Oh? The passengers were related to the driver?
“The driver, the passenger, or the kid?”
Heck do all three.
SHE’S A MONSTER. . .wait. .it was a 24 pack? . . I didn’t know it was a 24 pack.
Let’s face it. If she hadn’t secured the beer and that case of beer slid off the seat onto the kid sleeping on the floor of the car, people would be outraged about that too.
I now that......duh..... :O
