A mom who has a habit of driving drunk was reported for drunk driving by her 8 year old son.
The woman, was allegedly driving drunk while her son was in the car. The smart little boy decided to use a cellphone to dial 911.
Paulette Lynn Spears, 33, was arrested Saturday night after she drove to a fire station and told people there that she had a medical problem. It turns out, the problem was that she was drunk.
Her son, riding in the car with her, had been repeatedly calling 911 and trying to describe landmarks as they passed them. Using global positioning technology and the little boy’s descriptions, the police located the car at the fire station less than a minute after the woman and her son arrived.
Before the little boy had called police, they had received another call about the vehicle driving erratically. When the little guy got in touch with police he told them that his mom wasn’t acting normal and that he didn’t know exactly where they were.
At least twice when the boy was trying to get police help, his mother interrupted the calls. At one point she reportedly bit her child on the hand to try to get the phone away from him.
A five year old child was also in the car with Spears. Both children were placed in the care of a relative and Spears was arrested for suspicion of DUI, reckless endangerment and assault of a child. She has at least one previous conviction for drunk driving.
