Beer gets seatbelt. Child doesn't

Wed Feb 6, 5:15 PM ET

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Police have arrested a motorist they say had a 24-
pack of beer strapped in with a seat belt but had a 16-month-old girl
unrestrained in the back seat with the toddler's mother.

Tina D. Williams was pulled over in St. Augustine on Sunday for allegedly
running a red light.

A 24-pack of Busch beer was strapped in with the passenger-side seat belt,
according to an arrest report. The girl was in the back seat with 20-year-
old Amber Tedrick, who is the toddler's mother.

Williams, 46, said she didn't know why the child wasn't restrained.

Williams refused to take a breath test and a deputy found two metal pipes
commonly used to smoke drugs in her purse, authorities said.

Williams was charged with driving under the influence, child abuse,
possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a license, a jail
official said. She remained in the St. Johns County jail Tuesday after bail
was set at $31,000.

The jail did not have the name of her attorney. It was not clear if Tedrick
would face any charges, but the child was released to her care, according
to The Florida Times-Union.
