Mother arrested for driving ‘drunk’ at 120ph with three-year-old, empty liquor bottles and marijuana in the car

A mother who was driving at 120mph was pulled over by officers who found a three-year-old in the backseat.

Footage shared by Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) shows an officer telling the woman that they could smell alcohol and marijuana from her vehicle. A DUI investigator was then called to assist with the traffic stop.

The woman explained that she was speeding to make it home to her other child, a 10-year-old, who was left alone whilst she went to pick up food.

Investigators said they found several bottles of alcohol and a marijuana joint inside the car.
