A woman suspected of driving under the influence with a toddler in her car was arrested when she was pulled over after reportedly almost colliding with a tow truck.
At approximately 2:30 AM on August 5, a woman was driving a Mustang in Kent with a 3-year-old passenger. A tow truck was on the same side of the street, and a Kent Patrol Officer was following behind it with their lights turned on. It was reported that the woman nearly crashed into the truck, and the officer decided to initiate a traffic stop.
The woman pulled over without incident, and when the officer walked up to the window to talk to her, they noted that she did not put the car in park. When asked for her identification and proof of insurance, she still reportedly left the car in drive. A toddler was seen in the back of the vehicle, and they were allegedly sitting without a child’s car seat or safety belt on.
