OHIO TURNPIKE -- A woman who claims she was breast-feeding while driving on the turnpike, has plead not guilty to multiple charges.
The Ohio highway patrol received a call that 29-year old Catherine Donkers, was driving with an infant in her lap.
A trooper tried to pull her over, but she ignored him and then exited the turnpike.
"The stop didn't occur until she exited at the 187th and then became caught up in the toll booth and that's where the officer was able to approach the car and talk to the driver," said Ohio Highway Patrol Officer, Lt. Chris Butts.
The trooper discovered the Michigan woman didn't have a license.
She's been charged with not having an operators' license, obstructing official business, and child endangering.

The baby was just trying to keep a-breast of the situation

Should not have encouraged the kid to drink while driving....
To: Nick Thimmesch
It might be funny until you consider what could have happened to the baby in the event of a crash.

Sounds like she had a little tit-for-tat with the officer.

Driving while breast feeding her baby... tsk. What a boob.
To: yankeedame
Doesn't Ohio have a law mandating babies in cars be in safety seats? If so, they ought to charge her with violating that law, too.

A woman who claims she was breast-feeding while driving on the turnpike, has plead not guilty to multiple charges. I wonder if the DA will agree to plea bargain the charges down to "Driving With Headlights On"?
