I'm going back to [ __ ] govern you mother one by one as soon as I can find you. >> Now you're making against the public official. You take it from me for you. At the store, staff testimony made the situation clearer, outlining the true severity of the mother's behavior. >> So, what what's going on? What happened? >> She came in and she started uh mouthing off immediately to to another woman. That's an older woman, my regular customer. And she goes, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at?" And she comes from there. She right when she walked in, she goes, "Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream." I'm like, "Man, calm down. It's right there." And then, uh, she had a little girl with her. Is the little girl okay? >> Yeah, the little girl's okay. The little girl started crying and I I could just imagine my own daughter, you know, in this situation and I would never put my daughter through that situation. I got scared. Then she came up, she bought a 12-pack and she bought ice cream for her daughter and I rang it up in that time frame when she was walking around. Another customer walked in. Then she came up to him and she said, "What the you looking at? What this and that?" And then he kept his cool and she came at him and then she started swinging and fighting him. What he did, he he tackled her right here and she fell and then he rained punches on her on her face. >> So, she attacked him. >> She attacked him first and then uh she said she she said she made a remark saying, "Oh, I uh can't you see I'm on cocaine or something like that. I don't know what what she was talking about, but I think she made a remark." >> Due to her concerning actions, the mother was arrested and held on charges of disorderly intoxication and serious bodily to a law enforcement officer. However, the court's ruling amounted to just one day in jail, a few hundred in fines, and a $6,000 bond. She was quickly released and still retained the possibility of keeping custody of her child. A mother failed to follow the law, ignoring her responsibility to her daughter, leading to serious consequences for them both. But the question remains, was this sentence too lenient for her? As Florida closed with a controversial sentence, Washington opened with another incident involving a mother, too, impaired to drive. going to be under arrest right now for for suspicious Eli.

She's got two just trashed wheels damage inside of her car. She says it it happened when she was like at her apartment or something. I don't know. I think she's intoxicated. Sure. Seems like it.
