Case of Beer Buckled in But Not Baby Gary Detman Jessica Clark ST. AUGUSTINE, FL -- Investigators say a woman accused of drunk driving had a case of beer buckled up safely, and a one year old girl sitting in the backseat without a seatbelt or car seat. On Super Bowl Sunday, a deputy saw a car drive through a red light and swerve back and forth over the center lane on U.S. 1 South. The deputy stopped the car. Investigators say the woman, who identified herself as Tina Williams, smelled of alcohol. According to the report, Williams told the deputy she never had a license and was running out of gas. The deputy saw a case of Busch beer in the front seat with a seat belt around it, and a baby girl in the backseat with her mother. When asked why the girl wasn't restrained, Williams reportedly told the officer, "I don't know." Williams told the deputy she had a few drinks. Authorities say she staggered when she got out of her car. The deputy arrested her for DUI after she failed a field sobriety test. Authorities also found two silver metal pipes in her purse. Williams faces charges of driving under the influence, child endangerment, driving without a valid license running a red light and not having a seatbelt or child restraint.

If she hadn't been drunk they never would have caught her. I wonder how this information can be used as a law enforcement aid.
My gut feeling is that the driver was lying and has a record and possibly a warrant out for her.
I know people like this.
