• Kristin Wiley, 49, was pulled over by Indian River County (Florida) Sheriff's officers after she barely missed hitting their stopped vehicle on March 20, The Smoking Gun reported.
When they approached the car, they saw her 9-year-old son in the back seat, crying.
The officer noted that Wiley's eyes were "watery and red in color," and he smelled alcohol on her breath, so he asked if she'd been drinking.
She replied, "No," but her son piped up from the back seat, "Mom, you can't lie to the police. You did drink."
He told the officer that his mom had been drinking at a party and said he was "very scared while Kristin was operating the vehicle," the officer reported.
A breath test recorded her alcohol content at nearly three times the legal limit. Along with DUI, she was charged with child abuse. [Smoking Gun, 3/21/2022]
