St. Augustine Woman Seat-belts her Beer, but not her Baby

Deputy: Driver Straps In Beer, Not Toddler
Woman Faces DUI, Other Charges

POSTED: 11:16 am EST February 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 back, according to the arrest report.
The deputy who pulled over Tina Williams Sunday reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol coming from the car. When he asked Williams for a driver's license, she replied, "I never had one," Jacksonville television station WJXT reported.
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 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.



Classy!

2. Another lost soul
In another universe she would get all the help she needs to overcome her addictions and become the parent she could be.....


In this universe, another generation grows up knowing only misery at home.

6. That nose has been broken a few times. Bar fights, domestic abuse--regardless,
that's a horrible situation for that precious child to be raised in. :cry:

7. Please tell me the kid's with relatives
who don't drink themselves into stupidity.

This poor woman's been rode hard and put away wet too many times. I can tell by her face that if she doesn't find a way to stop drinking now, she'll be dead very soon.

I hope this gets through to her that the party's over, that she gets some help while she's in the joint.
