Beer had seat belt, but toddler didn't

ST. AUGUSTINE - A woman pulled over for allegedly running a red light had a 24-pack of beer strapped in with a seat belt but had a 16-month-old girl unrestrained in the back seat of her car with the toddler's mother, authorities said.

Tina D. Williams, 46, was arrested Sunday after she was pulled over in St. Augustine. She was charged with driving under the influence, child abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a valid license, a jail official said. Williams remained in the St. Johns County jail Tuesday after bail was set at $31,000. The jail did not have the name of her attorney.

A 24-pack of beer was strapped in the passenger-side seat belt, according to an arrest report.

The girl was in the back seat with 20-year-old Amber Tedrick, who is the toddler's mother.

It was not clear if Tedrick would face any charges, but the child was released to her care, according to The Florida Times-Union.

Williams said she didn't know why the child wasn't restrained.

In a purse belonging to Williams, a deputy found two metal pipes commonly used to smoke drugs, authorities said.
