Woman, Allegedly Drunk, Mistakenly Drops Child off at East Brunswick High School

East Brunswick, NJ - A woman who mistakenly dropped her fiance's daughter off at East Brunswick High School for a dance recital was found to be under the influence and lost her appeal this week to a judge's decision that she is an abusive parent, reports MyCentralJersey.com.

The woman, identified in court papers only as W.R., mistakenly took the 8-year-old girl to East Brunswick High School instead of Edison High School for a dance recital on June 8, 2013. A security guard at the high school called police at the time because the woman was acting strangely.

According to court documents obtained by MyCentralJersey, when East Brunswick Police Officer Justin Schlusselfeld arrived at the high school, he saw the woman stumbling in the parking lot, appeared "dazed and confused" and "really didn't know what was going on" and had slurred speech. She also bumped into the cars in front while in the car line. A search of her purse found tinfoil of suspected cocaine, one Oxycodone pill and two Xanax pills, court papers say. She admitted to using cocaine the night before, which someone gave her because she had pain from a toothache. An interview with the woman reportedly went on for several hours at East Brunswick police HQ because she was so intoxicated.

She was arrested and this week lost her appeal to a judge's ruling that she was was an abusive parent.
