TITUSVILLE, Fla. – Titusville police took a woman into custody Saturday after an officer spotted her drunkenly speeding through the streets trying to get to her infant whom she thought she left at a grocery store, according to an arrest report.
Officers said they first noticed Jessica Lynn Lawton around 7 p.m. as she was going double the speed limit while heading south on Barna Avenue.
Police said the 41-year-old was weaving around cars, going 72 mph, above the posted speed limit of 35 mph. An officer in an unmarked SUV followed Lawton into a Publix parking lot along Cheney Highway.
The officer then activated his emergency lights and noted Lawton speeding up, according to an arrest affidavit. [TRENDING: SpaceX aims to fly -- and avoid
