News in Brief: Mom Buckles Up Beer, Not Baby

Bryan Belrad
A St. Augustine, Florida woman was caught driving drunk on Superbowl Sunday on US 1. A Sheriff's Deputy saw her run a red light, then swerve back and forth over the highway's center lane, before he could pull her over.

But what makes this story interesting is that this woman was not only hammered, but she had a case of beer securely buckled up in the passenger seat beside her - and her own one year old girl sitting in the back with no restraint at all.

The baby had neither belt nor car seat. While the mother drove drunk.

But at least the beer was safe.

Charges are still being tabulated. A shorter list would be to rule out the laws the woman didn't break.

    I know this is a serious news story here, but it's kind of funny too.....must protect that beer! Being a brewmaster (or mistress?) myself, I can understand the importance of protecting beer....
