LAKEVIEW, NY - A Roosevelt woman with open warrants was arrested after she hit two parked cars while driving drunk with her 2-year-old daughter in the backseat in Lakeview on Wednesday evening, according to Nassau Police.

Officers responded to Eagle Avenue for an auto accident at about 5:50 p.m.

Upon arrival they saw 30-year-old Kimesha McPherson outside of her car, which was facing westbound in the eastbound lane of Eagle Avenue at Thrush Avenue, police said.

Her 2-year-old child was sitting in the backseat of her car without a child restraint, police said.
