A teenage girl “averted a tragedy” by calling 911 from inside a wildly weaving car to report her mother, who ended up being charged with drunken driving, New York State Police said.
Jamie S. Hicks, 48, of Islip, New York, was charged with felony driving under the influence and was released on bail,
According to investigators, Hicks was behind the wheel of a 1995 Buick LeSabre Sunday evening, with her 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son as passengers.
The car was on I-84 near the Connecticut border when the daughter called 911, saying her mother was “weaving in and out of traffic,” authorities said.
“Her initial call was that she was fearful [because] the mother was driving erratically and speaking incoherently, Capt. Robert Nuzzo of the New York State Police told CNN.
The daughter told the officers that her mother was intoxicated, police said. Hicks failed field sobriety tests and was taken in for processing, according to police, who said her blood alcohol content was 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit.
The audio recording and transcript of the girl’s 911 call will not be released, said Adam Stiebeling, deputy commissioner of the Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services.
Nuzzo praised the teen for her quick thinking. “She was a terrified young girl who made a conscientious decision to get her mother arrested,” he said, “but it averted a tragedy.”
What a fucking hater, you know how many times some one I know and their 2 brothers (I am not talking about me and my two brothers I promise) rode home when their dad was drunker than Cooter Brown. Shit if she was a real kid she would have taken that a chance to get her first crack at driving; I know that is what my brother did. Ugh I mean someone I know’s brother.
