Centerville Woman Arrested For Driving On Drugs With 7 Month Old Baby In The Car

MassLive.com – A 31-year-old Centerville woman was arrested Friday afternoon, after her physician called police to report she was heavily intoxicated and driving with her infant son in the car.

Kimberly Brown was arrested in Osterville not long after she left her doctor’s appointment, and police were shocked just how intoxicated the woman allegedly was. One officer reported that the Brown nearly fell asleep as she stood in the roadway while he questioned her.

According to the Cape Cod Times, the infant boy’s state Department of Children and Families caseworker also witnessed the woman driving erratically and called police as well. She drove to the site of the stop and took custody of the child after Brown was arrested

Brown passed out in the rear seat of the police cruiser after admitting she had a history of pain killer abuse. She was charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs, driving without a license, driving an uninsured motor vehicle, driving with a revoked registration and driving negligently.

Hey it’s not her fault, it’s the drugs. How can a new mother possibly be expected to drive sober with her baby in the car when drugs are so addictive? I’m surprised she even got arrested, seems like they should have charged the drugs with 3 counts of being too awesome to put down when your driving around town with your kid.
