Arizona. A drunk woman. Two kids in the back seat. The car slammed straight into a wall. >> Please take my hand. >> Were you in the car when she hit the wall? You are under arrest for DUI. >> Already lost my kid and I've already lost everything. >> You want to be a police officer? >> Yes. >> Florida. A three-year-old boy wandering through traffic. No adult in sight. Just a dog by his side. Do >> you realize it's been probably at least 45 minutes by now? >> But I'm just so used to letting him go out there and play. I've never had an issue. I don't have the money right now. >> In these stories, love doesn't save lives. The law has to step in. >> Let's start with Ashley O'Hara, the mother who turned getting drunk, driving with her two kids, and slamming into a wall into a memorable life experience. >> This is the time when she starts backing up. I start screaming, "Stop, cuz she's going to hit this wall." On March 22nd, 2024, police received a call about an intoxicated woman causing a scene at a motel, then crashing her car into a wall with her kids still in the back seat. They rushed to the scene where the main character, Ashley O'Hara, was rolling around whining and begging to take care of her children. >> Who's fighting? >> That young lady right there. She is not a >> Who's the one driving? >> Hi, officer. >> Hi. Come over here. What are you doing? I'm just trying to call my kid's dad. That's all, officer. >> Okay, sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. There's nowhere for me to sit down. >> You can sit right there in the bumper, >> officer. I'm just >> Who are you fighting with? >> Nobody. >> I was fighting with this girl. >> Is that yours? >> No, that's Alexander Brewers. >> Oh, but you were driving that? >> No. >> Okay. >> No, officer. I wasn't. >> What's your name? >> My name is Ashley O'Hara. I just want to >> Ashley O'Hara, huh? What's up with you, >> officer? Sit down. >> Please take my hands. >> Sit down. >> No, these are my >> You're going in handcuffs. >> Come in. >> Stop. >> Can I please take care of my children? Officer, can I please take care of my children? Officer, can I please take care of my children? >> Down on the bumper. >> Officer. >> Okay, then get in the car. >> Officer, what? My children are over here. >> Okay. >> Officer, did you search that? >> No, I have not. >> She's being crazy. >> Please search me. I just want to take you to my children. >> All right, sit in the car. >> Officers, >> get in the car. >> Can I please take my children? Can I please take you to my children? >> Many witnesses described it like a scene from a B-grade horror movie. Ashley screamed and ran into someone's house, then went crazy like a mad woman, forcing neighbors to risk their lives, rushed to the car, and pull the keys out to save the two children. >> Hello. Hi. >> Did you see what happened? >> Oh, yeah. She pulled straight up into We're going in the N one now. And she pulled straight up to our room and was in her car yelling and carrying on, telling somebody she needed help cuz she's drinking, driving with the kids in the car. And I went up to her car and I asked her if she was okay. She liked me to drive her vehicles to work for her, for her kids in whatever. She said, "No, her boyfriend was coming." Everything was great. We went into our place and Har's hanging out in his car. And next thing I know, she's at like walking into my place asking if we got water, asking if we've got because it smells in there. So I told her, "No, we just have pest control here." And then she's like comes out, starts screaming at the dog. >> We told her, "Don't scream at the dog. We don't even know you. You can stay here as long as you need to cuz you're drunk, but don't cause any problems." Right. >> She jumps in a vehicle. I come down here and talk to her now because now she's getting aggressive with me. I don't play. So, I come down here and talk to her. And as I was, she backed up and backed right up into that. You didn't even slow down. Nothing. >> So, that's that's the brick wall that she hit. >> Yep. And I ran up there and I grabbed jumped through into the window, grabbed the keys, and took off. And Alexis has the keys now because she attacked me. And Alexis is one. >> Are you wanting to press charges for her attacking you? Was it physical? Well, it start I think she was trying to give me a hug at first and then I was kind of like, "No, no." Then it started getting the fist called, but she stopped. >> Do you have your ID on you by >> She just wanted to make sure the kids was okay. >> So, are those the kids that were in the car? >> Yeah. That was in the car with her, but she did not. >> What? She hit >> that wall right there. >> Even the father of the children could no longer stay silent. >> I got no custody in my kids. She was supposed to have them for the weekends, but she's >> How you doing? >> I'm doing great, bro. Other than I got a deal. >> These are you guys? >> These are my kids. >> Who is she to? My baby mama. >> Baby mama. >> Ex baby mama. She don't got no custody of him. I let her see him on the weekends, but she's not acting like whatever the hell happened here. I'm guessing you're dead. >> I'm dead. Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, apparently she's quite intoxicated. >> That's why she got him taken away the first time. >> I actually got in a pursuit with her about an hour ago. She was driving crazy. If it's okay with you, we'd like to just talk to the kids and see what they have to say. They're not in any trouble by any stretch in the imagination. >> I don't I don't want to talk anything. I'm going to take her to court. That's all I want. I don't want them to talk anything cuz they love her mom. Got you. >> Me and her, she knows exactly. She's screaming. She's aing nut. >> So, >> trust me, look her name up. This ain't the first time you guys deal with her, and I know that for sure. >> So, nonetheless, we still just need their names. Dis have an ID on you as well. >> The children acted more mature than their own mother. One of them was even calm enough to call their father for help. >> Hey, no yelling. What's going on? >> I just want to talk to him and apologize. >> Not right now. >> Can I please, officer? >> No, ma'am. >> Please. Okay. Close the door. >> Okay. >> Still alive. Are you guys hurt at all? >> You're not hurt? Okay. Were you in the car when she hit the wall? >> Okay. >> Did she back up into the wall? Is that what happened? >> Okay. You're dad, right? >> Yeah. >> I did not know any of this. >> Fair enough. >> She just got a rehab, dude. >> For alcohol stuff? >> Yeah. >> And you called dad? >> Good job, buddy. Where were you guys sitting in the car? 959. >> You guys were So, which one of you guys were sitting right behind mom? >> You were sitting behind mom and you were sitting behind like the passenger seat. >> I was sitting in the middle. >> In the middle. Was there anybody else in the car or just you three? >> This is three. >> Okay, perfect. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm so sorry. You deserve a mother better than me. [Applause] >> Can you stop that? I love >> neighbors continued to speak out. This time, even a dog was reportedly mistreated. Thankfully, they stepped in just in time to save the children from a hallucinating mother before things went beyond their physical and mental limits. >> Who actually saw something? >> Us. >> Okay. >> I jumped through the windows. Actually, it was me, him, him standing outside. So, one at a time, would one of you guys just come on over and and talk with us real quick and just kind of tell us what you saw? >> She pulled up into the >> She pulled up here. >> Yep. And her >> she pulled up right here. >> Nope. This is where she pulled up over there and she's in her car and uh we were standing outside smoking a joint and eating um tacos. >> Okay. >> And uh she yells out her window that there's kids, she has kids in the car. Please don't. So, of course, we respected her because we don't know, you know, know who she is. And then she said she gets on the phone with her boyfriend. She's yelling for him to come come because she's effed up cuz she's drunk with the kids in the car and nobody's taking her kids cuz cops are chasing her. I didn't see no cops. So, okay. All right. So, I walk closer to the truck and I ask her if she's okay. Does she need me to drive her anywhere? I will take her vehicle and drive it to where she needs to go with her kids and make sure we get there safe >> and what whatever. Then we went back inside and she was she was yelling at somebody come and get her right now cuz the cops are chasing her and on and on she went. And she gets out of her car, walks into our unit with no no knock, no nothing. Just walks right in and starts bossing me around, telling me I can't be in my unit because my unit just been afraid. I need to get the hell out of my unit. She pushed me out the door. She shut the door and then Zeus started barking. So then Alexis and her kind of got into Alexis told her she started yelling at the dog, Zeus. And Alexis told her, "Don't be yelling at my dog like that. My dog is doing what it needs to do to make sure we're protected. Don't yell at my dog. Then the girl starts going closer to Alexis and gets right in front of her face in the car. Then I come out and I there and I tell her she needs to get back in her car and she needs to leave property now because we're not playing. And then she begs for water for like 2 minutes straight behind begging for water. When I walk over here and tell her after she water she what's going on. I said I don't know what this is. I don't know where she is. She just pulled up drunk. And then we see and this is the time where she starts backing up. I start screaming stop because she's going to hit this ball. She doesn't stop. She doesn't put on the bridge. She just I ran over, jumped in, grabbed the keys and got back on this side. And I told and she come at me a couple different times and she was told back out the keys. And so then they went to my hand. She attacked me was actually grabbing on me to Alexis and then kind of just, you know, floating around so she couldn't tell me. >> Well, she'll be going to jealousy. So >> yeah, at least the kids are safe. >> Yep. All right, Alexis, what did you see today? >> She pulls up right in front of our apartment and she's like going off about how like the car is broken down. Gets out. She goes up to the door. She starts saying something. Our dog starts barking. She tells him to shut up. So, I told her to shut up. Don't talk to my dog like that. Comes up to me, starts trying to touch me and everything. Gets back into our car. She starts reversing. Drives all the way back straight into the into the into the wall. >> It looked more like the officers were trying to comfort a child than restrain a criminal. And that overgrown baby was busy asking for tissues, wiping her nose, and crying like a child. Please stay tuned for the police version babysitting scene. >> I have hair in my mouth. Can you please scoop it out? Am I going to jail, officer? >> I don't know, ma'am. I'm just here to hang out right now. Okay. >> Do you have any tissues? >> What's that? >> Do you have tissues? >> Do I have tissues? >> It's not my car. Do you have tissues? He does not have the tissues. >> Can I ask you officers, why are you transporting my vehicle home? >> We're not transporting your vehicle home. or towing your vehicle cuz it was involved in an incident. Another officer explain it all to you in a moment. Okay. >> Can you wipe my nose first? >> I don't have a rag. Ma'am, >> I have a phone in my vehicle. Officer, >> I saw it. >> Would you mind grabbing it so I can call someone? >> Yeah, we can grab him. >> I'm so confused. I'm just trying to do better with my life. >> Okay, Ashley. Well, see the other bald officer right there? Well, balding. That other gentleman right there. He is going to be the case officer. Okay. Can you please come talk to me >> as soon as he's done doing some stuff he's got going right now? He'll come talk to you. Okay. >> I don't want to drive this vehicle home. >> We appreciate that. >> I just lost my children. Officer, I deserve that. I just want to walk home. Officers, if you want to take me if you want to take me to jail, that's okay. I just want to know. >> As soon as Officer Kaiser's done doing whatever he's doing, he's going to come talk to you and he's going to be a part right here. I called my baby daddy and I asked him. I said, "Please come get the kids. I'm too drunk to drive them home. >> Okay. Hi. >> You're not bald. You're not the right guy. >> I explained Officer Kaiser was going to come and best explain to her everything that's going to happen here momentarily. >> But whatever. You're an officer. Hello. How are you doing? >> Hi. I'm doing really well. So, Officer Kaiser is going to have some questions for you. He's going to take you to his car and then we'll go from there. Okay. Huh? >> Red Puma sandal. Is that yours over there? >> Do you know where the other one's at? >> I don't. >> It might be in the vehicle. >> It should be. >> Hey, Adam. She would like her cell phone from the back seat. I just want to call my boyfriend and tell him to not come here because I pulled off here and I called my baby daddy and I called my boyfriend. >> It doesn't really matter. It's irrelevant. >> Okay. So, he's got your two sandals. >> Sorry, officer. >> No, you're good. Ashley, >> I'm taking her. >> Careful. Careful. You're taking her. >> We're going to get back in the vehicle. Ashley, >> are you taking me to jail? >> I don't know how many part of this. >> Are you taking me to jail? >> Hop in. We're going to take you to the station. Okay. So Ashley, at this time you are under arrest for DUI. Okay. >> Why? I haven't been trained. Officer, >> I'm not going to ask you anything about it. I'm just explaining to you that you are under arrest for DUI at this time. >> Okay. Have you been searched? >> No. >> Garrett, did you search her? >> Would you like to? >> We have to step out of the vehicle for me. >> Officer, I work at the hospital. >> We did pat down. Okay. >> Would you like to do another one? I work at the hospital. I just got a promotion. >> What do you do at the hospital? >> I'm a unit coordinator. >> That's pretty awesome. >> It is pretty awesome. I just got the job. Alan, >> can you stop for a second? I'm going to use the back of my hand. Okay. >> I'm just looking for Alex because he's supposed to be here to grab my car. Can I ask you a question? >> What? >> Would it be okay for you to drive me home? >> No, I can't do that. >> Get in the car. Alex, where are you? >> Ashley keeps writing, directing, and starring in the reality show of her life. One moment she's working at a hospital, the next she's suddenly a Kingwood Police Explorer. Too bad she's consistently irresponsible in every role she plays. >> All right, Ashley, going to get out and walk for me. >> Okay, officer. >> Where would you like me to walk? >> We're going to go up that set of steps right there. Hold on a second. Don't try to pull away from me again. Don't do anything crazy. I have tried to pull away from you one time so don't talk about again. >> Okay, >> that's my hand right now. You can just relax. Okay. >> What do you guys want from me? >> Okay. I'm trying to explain that. >> Can I sit here? >> Yeah, you can have a seat. Go ahead and have a seat. My name is Officer Kaiser. I'm with the Kim Police Department. Okay. >> Hi, Officer Kaiser. How are you doing today? >> I'm here. I'm here. A couple questions for you. I want you to completely understand that you can deny. Okay. But I'd like to run through some field sobriety tests with you. >> Absolutely, sir. You're willing to do some field society test? >> I am absolutely willing to do those with you. >> Officer, can I ask you why did you bring me to the King Police Station >> so that we can get away from all the commotion and all the race a little bit more privacy? >> Do it there and then take me to the jail. >> Cuz this is a private matter and I don't need a bunch of people staring at you. >> We're honey. >> Okay. Well, your children are with their father. >> My children with their father >> and I deserve that. Do you guys have any water? You know, Miranda hasn't been ready yet. >> We do. We've got some things that we have to run through. Okay. >> May I have some water? >> We're going to take about 15 minutes or so. Okay. And then after the after the 15 minutes and then we're going to run through some some tests. When all that stuff is done, then absolutely. I have no issues getting any water. >> What happens when I pass all those tests? >> We'll see what happens when that happens. >> Did you guys know that I used to be your keeper police explorer? >> Because I did not know that. >> Yes, that was me. Did anyone get my phone out of the car? >> Yes, ma'am. I have >> Thank you, officer. Can you please call my boyfriend and let him know I'm no longer in the Leo Motel? Thank you, officer. I'm also sorry for wasting your time. >> You didn't waste my time. >> I did waste your time. I did because there are real criminals out there. Maybe I am a real criminal, but that you should be out there following after it. You were out there following after me, so I apologize for wasting your time. She kept screaming frantically, turning the sobriety test into a mental battle where it was the officers who ended up being tested. And then she completely failed the very test meant for sober people. >> You said that you're okay consenting to these tests and doing some test for us. Okay, perfect. And I just want to make sure that you you do fully understand. I know that officer Kaiser just went over it with you. You don't have to do these. Okay. You were just in handcuffs. You were in the back of the police car. We're in the back of the police car. I was in the back of a police car and my children were taking from me and their dad took them because I was parked at a motel where man, >> you need to stop hollering. >> I'm sorry guys. >> Follow my finger. Move your eyes. Your eyes only. Don't move your head at all. Okay. >> Watch. Look at my finger. >> Open the mind. >> This is just really hard for me. >> Okay. Relax for just a minute. And I need to be able to see your eyes. And if you're all squinted like that, I got twos. >> Sorry. >> Okay, that's all right. We're taking our time. Not a big deal. Next test we're going to do is called walk and turn test. Okay, hold on. Hold on. >> So, >> does this count as two or as one? >> We're going to start over again. Okay. >> Okay. One, two, nine.

When I tell you to begin, >> where were you guys at with the mom or the guy who my mom and my sister were at? >> I don't know, man. >> Where were you guys at? >> I don't know, ma'am. Ashley, do you want to continue with these tests? >> Yes. Cuz I want to go home and go home. I go to work at the >> I just want to go home. >> All righty. I'll give you a little minute to compose yourself, but I need you to watch me when I demonstrate this. Okay, Ashley. I'm trying. >> I understand. >> No, you don't understand.

Point that foot down. Tell Nope. When I When I tell you to begin. All right, Ashley. We're going to We're going to come over here and have a seat back on the curb. >> No, >> that's for your safety. That's for your safety. Okay. >> I just want to do it and I either want to go to jail or I want to go Ashley. We'll get there. For your safety, I don't want to I don't feel comfortable continuing this test. Okay. I don't want you to fall. You already said you feel uncomfortable. >> Oh, I fall. >> No, that's that's not how that works. Actually, let's go inside and we'll do we'll do the last test and then we'll figure out what we're going to do. >> I deserve to go to jail, right? >> That's not necessarily the case. >> That is the case. >> All right. Here, go ahead and throw your your sandals back on. You got one more test to do and then and then we'll be done with all the tests. >> And then the curtain of truth slowly lifted. She turned to alcohol after learning she might lose custody of her child. Sadly, alcohol has never kept a child safe, and the law doesn't drink with her. >> Hey, Ashley. While he's filling that out, okay. Um, I just got a couple of questions that I want to ask you. >> Absolutely. Officer. >> Okay. Before I can ask you any questions, okay? I'm sure that you watch TV and stuff like that before. We have to tell you what we have to tell you what your rights are though, okay? Before I can ask you any types of questions. Okay. With that being said, you have the right to remain silent. Ashley, do you understand all that? Okay, perfect. Ashley, you were mentioning something about your uh your mom out there. What happened with that? Okay, that's fair. Let me know if you need the trash can again. How come they were so hysterical when we when we all got there? >> Because officer, I don't have a license. I knew that. I was driving a [ __ ] and I had both registered and licensed to myself when it broke down. When it broke down, I had known I had been drinking with my friend at 300 p.m. this afternoon, and my kids were getting the back. be officer. I know you're a police officer here. Did I mean to do that? Absolutely not. But I did. I did. But this is what I was under the influence of and I was just trying to get my kids home. A couple days ago, my kids had told me that their dad was going to take me to court to get custody of them full time. >> So, you started drinking at 3:00 this afternoon? Today? >> Yes, officer. I did. I took I had one shot one shot of 99 grapes at 3:00 this afternoon and at about 5:00 this afternoon after I had eaten drinking some water I decided to drive them home and my car started to act funky so I pulled in the motel and it broke down and then you guys all showed up. There were like four or five of you guys and then the kids were crying in the backseat. Don't let them take us. Mom, don't let them take us. Of course, I was going to get the call officer. >> Where were you where were you drinking at this afternoon? >> My best friend's house at 5:50. >> When the officer tried to stop you just before you got to the Leo, where were you coming from? >> When the officers tried to stop me. No officers tried to stop me. I stopped at the Leo. I pulled over cuz my car was breaking down. >> So, the officer that tried to stop you over there by fairgrounds was at was at the lead. He saw you and he was like, "Yeah, that was she's the one that I was trying to stop." I never saw anyone behind me before I got to the Leo. >> So, you didn't hear lights and sirens behind you? >> No, officer. I would have pulled over. Okay. So, if you guys don't arrest me, do I have to drive or walk home or are you going to drive home? >> We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Okay. >> Oh, Ashley has a long criminal record, hit a cop, dealt drugs, and is on probation with a stack of prior and this serious repeat offense. Even if she acts remorseful, police can't let her go home with my baby. and that want to be a police dream. As the officer said, not on the right track. >> After completing the test of your blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substance, you will be given a reasonable opportunity to arrange for any physician, registered nurse, or other qualified person of your own choosing to obtain an independent test or tests in addition to any administered by law enforcement officer. This says, I understand that I have the right to a reasonable opportunity to arrange for an independent test of my blood, breath, urine, or other body substances. You understand? >> I ask you a serious question. Mhm. >> Do you ever see a person who has really turned around their life and do these sort of tests on them and think they don't deserve this? >> Yes. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. More. >> That'll work. >> I just want to go home and I want to have my baby. >> And you want to have what? >> I've already lost my kid and I've already lost everything. It low key doesn't matter. I'm on probation right now, but it's like I should just run at this point. >> Who's your probationary officer? >> Ryan Woodard, hungry, humble, smart, all of the above, which y'all are. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. Sorry, you have to take me to jail. >> Me, too. >> Can we loosen these just a little bit? Cuz my ankle or my wrist are actually red. I'm not just being a >> I am being a ditch, but not in this instant. >> What are you on probation for? I am on probation for running over a police officer on accident. >> I would not be probation. >> But in my defense, I was selling kilos of at the time and I didn't mean to do it. But it also doesn't matter because that police officer didn't deserve that and he was just doing his job. Goalize me now. Am I still 0.1? >> I don't know. >> Because I want to be one of you guys. >> Go ahead. >> Do you want to be one of us? >> Yeah. >> You want to be a police officer? >> Yes. >> Go ahead. >> Not on the right track, sis. Obviously doesn't matter cuz I'mma slip my wrist open after I get out of jail. I can't wait to do it. I'mma lay down right next to my sister's gravestone like this bleeding out and I look forward to that. >> Because of those childish actions, the kids are at risk of becoming victims of an immature mother with a twisted sense of right and wrong. They may lose their sense of safety, grow fearful of adults or cars, psychological scars that could last a lifetime. >> What's your name? Officer Kaiser or officer? >> I'm officer. >> Okay. I don't want to disrespect you. Am I going? >> No, I appreciate that. You are going to jail. >> Why? >> For driving under influence, endangerment, and as well as child. >> Am I going to prison? >> I have not a clue. That is not up to my >> Do you think I am? >> I have no clue. Are you ready, sir? >> Yep. >> Can I make one call before you go? >> When you get down there. >> And is there any other option besides jail? >> No, >> I'm not asking you. I'm asking officer. >> No, there's not. They're weird. You got the same answer. Let's go. >> Okay. Well, do you want to walk me? >> No, I don't. You can walk. Capable of walking. >> Why do I want to walk to you, Joe? This way. >> Can I walk this way now? >> Stop. >> Can I please >> have a seat? >> Do I have to? >> You do.

Just this one time, please. >> There we go. Legs in. Nope. Up on the seat. Legs in. According to you, there's been several times. >> Please, just at home. Can you let me get to work in the morning? Let me rebuild my life. >> I hope you do rebuild your life. >> I can't rebuild my life. I keep doing it. >> I agree with that statement. >> Please repetitive. >> I beg it in there and I bang it in there and I be it in there till I leaping blood. >> That's not acting like an adult. You want those numbers? You better quit. >> I just want to go home. Please. Please. Please. I'll do anything. Please go home. Please, officer. Please. I can snitch on everybody you've got numbers to. Do you want those numbers? Do you want me to bring you by the houses? No. >> Ashley, I want you to stop acting like a child. >> I want to stop acting like a child, too. And that's why I'm trying to bring you by the >> I want you to be able to get the numbers out of your phone. But if you walk into the jail acting like that, they are not going to do that. >> Numbers out of my phone. >> I don't want the numbers out of your phone. Please just let me go home. I have to work in the morning. I used to sell I used to do I haven't done in 3 years. >> Didn't you just get out of rehab for alcohol? >> I did get out of rehab for alcohol and I took two shots with my friend at 3:00 and then I went home at 4:00 and y'all pulled me over. Please officers. I don't want to go back down here. I don't want to lose my job. I don't want to lose everything. Every time I get arrested, I have to tell them about why. Please, officer. Just this one time. I promise I'll never give her trick again. And if I do, send her a prison. >> Even in handcuffs, she kept shouting, "You don't give me what I wanted." That attitude slowly wore down the officer's patience. >> "You need to stop. >> Please, I want to go. >> Give me a rest. Please, please, please. Please take me home. Please take me home. >> Get your hands off of your face. >> Please. Please take me home. Please >> step out. >> Let me step out rather than dragging me. >> Well, you're acting like a child. >> And this is why your cheat on you with fat black men. I'm God. I cheat on you, too. You ain't >> Hey, >> Ashley. Hey, we're going to keep them separate. >> Yeah, keep us separate. >> I said stop. >> No, I >> You need to listen. >> No, I don't need to listen. >> You do.

Can you please make sure for me? >> It is in there. Can you please make sure my phone is in there? >> This is what we're going to do. >> Can you please make sure my phone is in there? >> I Yes, we will absolutely do that. >> Over here. >> I'm just coughing.

Roll around. You guys are not locking me up with other mother. That's crazy. I'm lucky here. >> Face the wall. >> No, I'm face.

Stop. >> I didn't help you out. >> No, I didn't tell you to do anything. >> I didn't ask you. >> Yeah, well, I got to stop. >> I'm naked. >> I'm facing you can't see. >> I still got a problem. Ashley O'Hara was charged with child with intent extremely DUI endangerment unlawful flight from light enforcement, aggravated DUI with a passenger under 15, and aggravated DUI with a suspended or revoked license. She could face up to 10 to 15 years in prison or a fine between $20,000 and $25,000 under current Arizona law. Life doesn't hand out many second chances, but sometimes crashing into a wall is exactly the wakeup call someone lost in alcohol needs. Hopefully, she won't restart with another bottle, but with real rehab and a better way of living. Let's leave Arizona for a moment and head to Florida, where a 3-year-old and his dog set off on a journey no one saw coming. >> It seemed like the dog was doing a good job at protecting a kid. >> Florida, morning of February 16th, 2021. Flaggler County deputies responded immediately after receiving a report of a three-year-old boy wandering near a busy intersection in Palm Coast with no adult in sight, just his dog by his side. Meanwhile, the boy's mother was still at home, completely unaware that her child was missing. Officers quickly located the boy, but the story had more layers than anyone expected. >> Across the street that way, nobody know. >> You guys haven't seen him in the neighborhood before. You don't know where he might live. He's not answering offering up a name or any >> Hey, buddy. What you got? >> You got sticks. What's your name? >> Animals taking care of. >> You need anything from us called? Yeah, if you just have your ID so I can grab your information if you don't mind and then you you're free to go after that. >> Yeah, this is his too. Yeah, the dog was wandering too on the leash. They put the leash on. >> So you found you saw him first or who saw him first? >> The guy left. >> But you drove by after the fact. >> Yeah, he pulled up and he was like we're like who's this? We're like we don't know who this is. So we >> So then we thought maybe it was somebody over here. So we knocked on their door. >> Okay. What's a good phone number for you? >> 8001. >> You're good to go. >> What did he say? >> To get the car off the corner would be nice. All right, you guys are good to go. I appreciate it. Thank you. >> Are they all yours? >> Who are they? Twins or triplets or anything? >> Oh, good things. >> Hey. Hey. You're a young mommy. Hey. Hey. >> Yes. >> So, you have a busy household. Oh, what's this? >> To say the least. >> Hello. >> What the hell, boy? He got He got out through a gate. >> Okay. Where do you guys live? >> She lives down there. >> What What's the address? What's the address? I I don't I think it's I could be wrong. Uh down around the corner. >> Do you have your ID, ma'am? >> Yes. >> She's down there. She's pregnant. She's freaking out. Is that >> I think it might. Yeah. Okay. >> That Yes, that's our dog. That's our dog. >> 214. >> She just went out the chair because he plays in the backyard. It's all fenced in. Apparently, the dog has done a hole under the fence and that's how he got out. >> She was in the back. >> Yeah. >> Do you live there too or you just helping? >> I'm the grandmother. She just called me. That's why I was rushed over here. >> Okay. >> No, you ain't going nowhere. You stay right here. >> There's the mother. She calmly admitted to letting her child play in the yard unsupervised, then justified it by saying, "I let him play out there all the time. Nothing's ever happened. Seems like the dog was more aware than his mom, fighting to protect the boy." >> Whose kid is it? >> He's mine. >> He's your baby? Yeah. Okay. All right. He's safe. Okay. >> All right. Um what? >> Um okay. How long do you think it's been? >> I don't my house. I let him go back all the time and play and I have the door open, you know, and our fence is we have a fence. >> What number do you live at? >> Um yeah. >> Okay. >> And I went over there to check on him. He was over there playing with the dog and then I I didn't see him. So then I walked around and I see that the panel was missing. He knocked the panel out. >> What color is your house? >> Um it's blue. Light blue. >> Okay. Uh you realize it's been probably at least 45 minutes by now. >> Are you serious? >> Yeah, it's been at least 45 minutes. >> I let him go out there all the time. >> You still got to keep your eye on him and check on him. Let me go work. And that's being easy. It's probably really going closer to an hour. Do you not like check on them every so often? do and I'm just so used to letting you go out there and play. I've never had an issue. >> That's just a That's just a very long time for no supervision at all. 50 minutes to an hour in the backyard. There's God, there's snakes that get through the fences. I mean, obviously the fence isn't secure. The kid got through. I mean, I'm just glad he's okay. He's perfectly fine. The dog, thankfully, the dog's very protective, and the dog doesn't want to leave the side. So, they were seen walking down the road together, and it it it seemed like the dog was doing a good job at protecting a kid. So, >> okay. >> All right. I I think your grandmother's down there, too. How long ago did you notice that he was missing? >> We just let him lay out there. I've never Like I said, it's not. >> Did you fall asleep or >> No, I was cleaning. >> I clean. He's He gets in stuff a lot at the house. >> Okay. And um he I I had actually gotten donuts earlier and he had crumbled them up all over the floor. So I was starting to pick up and just cleaned some. And like I said, I let him go back and I said never have an issue. He goes out there and plays all the time and it just didn't I don't know. I didn't think anything like this would ever happen. >> Oh, I know. >> I let him go out back. We usually let him go back out back all the time, you know, play. And um I started cleaning and I went out there, checked on him. I'm not going to lie, it had been a little bit, but we let him go out there all the time and play, you know. I called his name. He I didn't hear him. He didn't say anything. So, I walked back out there to look and I seen that the panel on this side of the gate had been knocked out and he had gotten out. So, I started walking down the road to try and find him. And then that's when I he was down the road. So, I stopped and talked to him. That's it. Like, >> okay. Who do you live here with? my fiance and my other two kids, but none of them are here. He's at work and my other kids are at school. >> Okay. About how long do you think he was outside for? >> Um, it didn't seem like that long to me, but he said he was probably gone for like 45 minutes. So, >> I'm not sure. Yeah. If you had to give an approximate time, it's 1:54 now. What time did you let him go outside when you started cleaning or doing whatever you >> probably like around 1. Like I say, he goes back all the time place and don't go nowhere. But >> can you show us uh the fence where it got knocked down? >> Ah, so it was all because of the fence. It broke from being too old and definitely not the fault of a negligent parent >> and you were at work this morning. >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. We'll be >> actually grandma just told me what happened. But um yeah, the fence is pretty tore up itself. Um I've blocked holes and reshove back in there and everything. Do >> you mind if I just go talk to you over here for a second? Step over here. Just do me a favor. Keep your hands out of your pocket for me. There you go. Sorry. >> Where do you work at? >> I work for AIM law service. >> Okay. Is it like local here? >> Yeah, it's local. >> Just law enforcement. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Brand your pockets here. I know it's a normal practice. People want to do that. Is it normal protocol for him to go out back and play? >> Uh, yeah. They play out back all the time. I mean, he's gotten out a couple times, but right here where we got him, seen him go out or whatever and catch him. >> Every other time he's gotten out like where >> he's only gotten out right here. That's never happened. >> He's gotten out from like the backyard or from inside the house. >> The backyard. That's why we got like a I don't know if you seen in our house, we got a lock thing on the front door cuz he just learned how to open the damn front door. My wife works at nights, so a lot of times she's in there, you know, just laying down and we make sure everything's locked up where he can't get out. Unfortunately, I don't know if you walked out back, like I said, walked out. Um, unfortunately, if you look out back, like I said, that fence is is tore up. >> The last thing he got out from the back, which side of the fence was it on? >> I I want to say this side, but this side I had to like put things in there and repair it. You know what I mean? We uh we're actually talking about cuz they got a good fence and they got somewhat of a fence back here and that back one's okay. Just seeing if we could, you know, with our tax money, >> get another fence something better in than what's there because they pushed this side over. I had to take another piece of panel and basically put it together with you know what I mean, >> right? >> I don't know if you seen it, but I had that's what I had to do for time being. We weren't paycheck paycheck. We ain't got money. You know what I mean? So, but yeah, scared [ __ ] me when I pull up, what the hell is two cops doing? >> Yeah. So essentially we're here because he was found in the roadway. A few people, a good Samaritan staff, they stood out with him for a while. They called us. I stood out with him for a little while until we were able to figure out this is where he lives and all the information. He's three, so he he couldn't give me his name or anything like that, which is typical. I understand that. >> Right. He can count to 20 and knows his ABCs. He knows. Oh yeah, he knows all his colors. >> Again, I was just to him, too, so he might not be open to talk. I understand that. So now we just kind of have to figure out he's back inside. You know, he's in good health and everything like that. I just want to make sure that we're doing a thorough job. Obviously, we do have to do a DCF notification. Doesn't mean it's the end of the world. We do a lot of DCF notifications. >> Oh, something's not right. Their statements clearly contradict. On one hand, they insist nothing has ever happened. On the other, they blames it on not having money and admits he got out before through the fence or the window. >> Again, I went back around back to see where he got out of and stuff like that. So, that's why I'm asking you several holes on this side and on this side. That whole fence fell down and they could go through the damn fence. Those panels are so loose. You know what I mean? Tried to do what I could. I don't have the money right now. >> Yeah. Does he normally go out there at the other kids when they're home? >> Yeah. Cooper and Autumn usually here, you know, unless they're in school and uh we got, you know, Gus, our dog, you know, and we I literally we leave the back doors, ladder doors all open, everything open and it's been fine. So, >> does he ever go out there by himself when the other ones are at school? >> Yeah, but we're here. You know what I mean? Somebody's here and like I said, we don't Oh, yeah. Go outside and shut the door. That wouldn't happen. >> I understand. If he goes out back and you guys are like inside doing whatever, how often you guys go out there and check on him? all the time. >> Like I'm saying like say he's out there for an hour. How many times did you check on him within that hour if he was out there? >> Me I'm up. I'm moving all the time. So I'm always checking on him 100 times, you know. I'm like I always keep an eye on my kid again. She works >> right >> again. She works so I don't know. I'm at work. Like I was just cutting grass. What time did you leave for work today? >> 7:00 or something. Oh yeah, early. So >> he's up in the morning though. He gets up. I usually make him something to eat. Hey, love you. Bye. Make sure the front door is locked. Pull it shut cuz uh it doesn't shut all the way real easy. So I can make sure I shut the some [ __ ] real good. Um we got that thing because again he about three or four days ago learned how to >> open >> and use his weight and opened it up and I Hey, where are you going? You know >> I got you. >> But my 5-year-old wants to go out this damn window and we told him 100 times. So we have a neighbor that has a little dog walks around here and he's like, "Hey, I just wanted to let you know." And this was a week ago. He's like he keeps coming out the window and the thing is he'll he'll open it but then he wants to try to shut it from the outside. Doesn't shut all the way leaves crack. Well then Tucker wants to try to go over there and try to lift it up and I'm like >> I got you. >> Yeah. Yes, sir. >> Naturally, the law doesn't turn a blind eye to this level of negligence. The mother was arrested and charged with child without great bodily harm and booked into the Flaggler County Jail. Bond was set at $500 per Florida law. >> So, actually, we'll walk around this way. You just want to go to the end of driveway so we can talk for a second. I know he's a little upset. So, >> all right. So, Tessy, essentially, you are going to be placed under arrest today. Okay. >> Oh my god. For what? >> This is for child. All right. All right. So, do me a favor. >> Um, I've never even been to church. >> How far along are you? >> Like 13 weeks. >> 13 weeks. Okay. You've been cooperative with me so far. Do you want me to cut you in the front? Are you okay with that? I do have to cut you. So, are you okay with the front? >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Just put your hands together just like this. There you go. Can I go call my mom? >> Say that again. >> Can I call my mom? >> We'll try and figure out something. We'll make sure that Do you have anything on you in your pocket? All right. I'm going to walk you to my patrol vehicle over here. Okay. >> I talked to him. >> I'll let him come talk to you in a second. Okay. >> We're going to go on to the passenger side. There you go. All right. Space my patrol vehicle for me. All right. Spread your feet apart. You've got nothing on you at all. No keys, wallet, anything like that. Okay. >> Yeah, we'll be right up there at the in a second. >> Talk to you in a second. You probably don't want the kid out. >> I'll figure out a >> I'm not leaving. I'm going to be here for a while. Talk to you in a minute. All right. >> You want to have a seat? Put your bottom in first and then just watch your head. Okay. >> There you go. All right. I'll roll the window down for you just a second. >> This incident not only exposes the mother's negligence, but also serves as a wakeup call about the careless, irresponsible lifestyle of some adults.
