Eye Popping MUGSHOT After FL Mother Arrested For DUI With Child On Board

Florida mother, Brandy Lerma, was tracked down by a tow truck driver who may have prevented tragedy from striking after he observed the erratic driver and called law enforcement.

Reports say, Lerma, 31, was spotted by the eagle-eyed tow truck driver who saw her driving a gold Chevrolet Malibu Saturday afternoon in Boynton Beach., while swerving and almost striking other vehicles. When the tow truck driver saw a child in the back seat, he began to imagine the worst.

The responding deputy pulled Lerma over and verified the concerned citizen’s fear. The deputy’s report says there was an unrestrained 3-year-old in the back seat. The deputy noted Lerma’s speech was slurred and a smell of alcohol coming from her car. Lerma took two breathalyzer tests, both of which showed a blood alcohol content more than twice Florida’s legal limit of .08. The report says her blood alcohol content read .200 and .187. Deputies say Lerma admitted she had been drinking and was also taking prescriptions including Percocet and Xanax. She was also given a sobriety test, during which deputies say she fell over two times. source

Lerma faces charges of driving under the influence and child abuse. She was released on bond and has a court date scheduled for next month.
