Police: Woman Driver Puts Seatbelt Around Case Of Beer, Not Toddler
Woman Faces DUI, Other Charges


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."

Health care? Nope. Missiles and war. Yep.
They are drunk on a war to 'protect' us while we are dying from no health care.

1. The closest I've come to that is belting my 19-inch TV to the passenger seat

screen side in, of course. But not because I was drunk--because I was moving.

4. I'll echo Skittles - how is her being a woman relevant to this and so important to the story
that it gets in the headline?
