"A Florida woman is facing charges after police say she was driving drunk with a child unrestrained in the backseat. A Palm Beach County sheriff's deputy began to follow Brandy Lerma after another driver reported an erratic driver. Juan Martinez, who called 911 after seeing Lerma swerving, wrote in a witness statement that she nearly struck four cars. \"I was afraid she was going to kill someone,\" he wrote. Lerma was pulled over for \"failure to maintain a single lane,\" according to a report. \"I immediately detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her person,\" the arresting deputy wrote. \"Lerma's speech was also slurred and she was initially unable to locate the documents I requested from her despite the fact that they were plainly visible to me inside her wallet.\" The 3-year-old was not restrained in the backseat and was free to move around. When asked to to perform field sobriety tests, Lerma fell twice. She said she had been drinking Fireball. She was taken to Palm Beach County Jail on charges including child abuse and DUI."
