Woman Charged With DWI Had Unrestrained Infant In Back Seat Of Car

NORTH AUSTIN, TX — A woman charged with driving while intoxicated had an unrestrained infant in the back seat of her car when she was pulled over earlier this week, police said on Thursday.

Lakeshia Bryson, 33, was pulled over Tuesday at Johnny Morris Road at FM 969 just before 10 p.m., the Austin American-Statesman reported. The stop came after the woman's mother called police to alert them her daughter was doing drugs in her vehicle, the report noted while citing details of an arrest affidavit.

The mother also told police that Bryson was scheduled to pick her up from work that same evening but never showed up, according to the affidavit.

By the time police located Bryson, she had what appeared to be loose tobacco on her pants as detailed in the affidavit. In the back seat, a more troubling sight is outlined in the affidavit: A four-month-old infant reclined unrestrained.
