It started with a phone call from a fast food drive-thru. A Silver Ford Explorer had pulled up to the window. According to deputies, the [music] driver was slurring her words, and in the back seat, two young children. By the end of the afternoon, the report says her breath test came back at more than double the legal limit. >> Chick-fil-A. I'm grabbing Chick-fil-A. I'm going home. Planting plants. Going to play outside. Kitty pool. Wait. Wait until he gets here. Stop. Stop. Stop. >> But why? What's the reason? >> I'm just about to shove you into this Tahoe right now. Get in the Tahoe. Come on, take a seat. Take a step. Get in. >> On the afternoon of June 22nd, 2026, [music] a call reached the Nassau County Sheriff's Office communication center. Someone inside a Chick-fil-A on State Road 200 was [music] watching the drive-thru. According to the report, they described a woman who was slurring her words with children in the car. A deputy was already close by. Hey, how we doing? Deputy Har County Sheriff's Office. The reason why I'm pulling you over is because you're kind of bobbing and weaving in the lines. Are you aware of that? >> Sorry. Yes. >> Okay. So, also people at Chick-fil-A said they observed you had kind of slurring your words and stuff like that. So, >> are you are you diabetic or anything? No. Okay. Have you been out in the sun for a long period of time today or anything? >> No. Okay. Are you feeling okay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you have an ID on you? All right. Do you have your uh registration proof insurance? Do you have a registration? So, where are you at before Chick-fil-A today? >> Nowhere. >> What's that? >> Nowhere, sir. >> Nowhere.

I guess you did you used to live in St. Augustine? >> No, it's the registration is in my husband's name. >> I got you. Okay. All right. Just hang out for me. Okay. You can have that stuff back. >> The deputy spotted the Silver Explorer as it pulled away from the window. He followed it out onto State Road 200 and according to the arrest report, the vehicle failed to stay inside a single lane more than once. That was enough. >> Have any medical issues? Epilepsy, diabetes, anything like that? >> Have you had any prolong exposure to be in the sunlight today? Being the heat? >> Yeah, we sat outside like outside the little kid pool. >> Okay. How long was that? All day. >> Okay. Have you had any water today? >> How much? >> Drink it all day. >> Okay. So, do you mind if I have rescue come and check you out? Cuz you're slurring your words just to make sure you're okay. >> Am I in trouble? >> As of right now, no. I'm just concerned about your safety and your child's safety. So, you're slurring your words. I just want to make sure that you're okay. So, do you mind if I rescue you come out and check you out? What's that? >> Who we calling? >> Dad. >> Okay. Why would you need to call her dad? I mean, if something's wrong, >> well, would there be anything wrong? >> I don't know. >> What's that? >> Y'all are making me feel like I'm I'm doing something wrong. >> You're not doing anything wrong. I just I'm concerned for your safety and your child's safety >> and you're slurring your words. So, I want to make sure you're okay. >> What did I slur? So, your movements are very slow and then you're slurring all your your speech. >> Answer it quickly. >> Call. Can you have 107151 to the Goodwill parking lot for patient eval? Yep, they're here. They think I'm here. >> He initiated a traffic stop when the deputy reached the driver's window. He says what he saw lined up with the call. Watery, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, answers that came slow. [music] It was brutally hot outside that day. So before anything else, he called Nassau County Fire Rescue to rule out a medical emergency. >> I was just going to use parking lot line. >> Looks relatively flat. request from this is just a medical saying that all it's going to say is that I came here because they requested I did not want to go there. That is the extent. >> They requested rescue as well. I have a feeling she's going to refuse. You >> think so? Tiffany. >> Yeah. >> Oh, gotcha. >> Need a band-aid or anything or is it good? >> All right, guys. >> Good. All right. Appreciate y'all. All right, Tiffany, you want to come over here and talk to me real quick? >> Maybe. >> He'll keep an eye on your son. >> My son is freaking out. >> Yeah, he'll keep an eye on him. So, >> all right. So, they said you're medically okay. >> So, I still don't think you're okay to drive. Okay. Because like I said, you're kind of slurring your words and then you've kind of been like slow with your movements. Okay. And then I also see that your eyes are glazed over. You have pinpoint pupils as well. Okay. >> Paramedics checked her over. According to the report, they found no medical issue. What the deputy did notice standing that close was the smell of alcohol on her breath. Medical ruled out. He asked her to step through standardized field sobriety exercises. >> You have pinpoint pupils as well. Okay. I understand it is bright out here as well. So, would you be willing to do field soiety exercises so I can make sure you're good to drive? >> Sure. >> Sure. Okay. >> All right. >> And then what happens if I fail that? Cuz I did something wrong. >> So, it's not a pass or fail thing. Okay. So, what it does it it helps me to know whether you're okay to drive or not. And then based off of my all my observations, if I think you're okay to drive, you can be okay to drive. It's it's not like a pass or fill thing. It's just so I can see. Okay. >> I've only ever once ever been in trouble with the law. >> Okay. Well, and as of right now, you're not in trouble. I'm just trying to make sure that you're okay to drive. Okay. >> It was Chick-fil-A that said that I did something wrong. >> They didn't say that you did anything wrong. >> It was because the guy that wanted my number and I didn't give it to him. >> No, it has nothing to do with it. Yeah. So cuz So they called but then I got behind you observed you too. Okay. So I saw when you were digging in the bag and I didn't you're fine. So I know so I know you just left Chick-fil-A so I'm not even factoring that into it. But once you were driving down the roadway and I saw that you were focused cuz I can see through your back window. You kind of start drifting to the other lines and drifting back >> draws in. >> Okay. Okay. >> So based off of that, my observations here, all that good stuff. I just want to make sure you're okay to drive. Okay. >> This is embarrassing. So, are you going to you you're willing to do filter body exercises for me? >> Sure. >> Okay. So, the first thing we're going to do is going to be with the eyes. Okay. >> Well, you already told me my eyes are not read. >> No. So, that's just a looking. This is more of a exercise. >> I can't even see right now. So, >> okay. So, let me angle you this way and get you out of the sun. Is that better? >> Maybe. Yeah. >> Okay. So, I want you to put your feet together, heels, toes touching, arms down by your side. I need you to stay in that position for me. Okay? Do you understand? >> I guess. >> Okay. So, keep your heels toes touching and arms down by your side. All right. You see this blue? >> Wait. If I fail this, >> like I said, it's not a pass or fail. It's just B. It's a total of >> my dad his their dad's come get them, right? >> He's already on the way. >> Okay. >> Cuz he's already on the way cuz you called him. Okay.

Tiffany, I'm losing my patience with you. I'm trying to retrieve everything that's in your pocket so you can get in the car. >> And >> I see you have a vape. Is there anything else you have?

You are placed under arrest for driving under the influence. So, unless you want to catch a charge for resisting, I highly suggest you get in this Tahoe. >> No, please just let me hug them both. >> No, you already got handcuffs on. You want to hug your child with handcuffs on? K9 deputy relayed that there had been two young children inside [music] that vehicle. The same deputy reported finding an open bottle of tequila down on the passenger side floorboard at the jail. >> That's what I was about to do. So you stay 1012. >> Get in the car. Will you check this? Not super. I just >> Okay. Here's the keys. You want to hand me Is her phone in here? Yeah. Okay. You go around. >> Go around the back. Can I ask that you're allowed their dad to come grab them? >> Yes, I will triple check. >> Deputy Dyl is on the phone right now, so let me ask him. Is he on the way? >> Okay, I just want to confirm. >> Appreciate it. >> A detention deputy administered a breath test, not one sample, too. The report lists them at.178 and.160. Florida's limit is 08. Both of her readings were more than double it. And in Florida, a reading that high or having a minor in the vehicle isn't the standard charge anymore. Carries an enhanced one. She was booked on two counts. Driving under the influence, and the enhanced count for that high reading with a child on board. Weeks later, the story traveled far beyond this county. National outlets picked it up and summed it up in a single line. A mother, a drive-thru, and two kids in the back seat. She has been charged. She has not been convicted, and nothing here has been proven in court. A stranger in a drive-thru made one phone call. Deputies say that call may have ended a drive that could have gone very differently. What would you have done if you'd seen that car pull up next to you? Tell me below.
