A California woman accused of getting behind the wheel drunk and dragging her 8-year-old daughter clutching the side of the vehicle some 300 feet while pulling away is expected in court Monday.
The police department in Placentia, a city in northern Orange County about 30 miles from Los Angeles, said officers responded to the 400 block of Orchid Drive at about 11:37 p.m. Thursday and located an 8-year-old girl suffering abrasions to her legs and feet. She was with her grandmother.
Police said Garcia, who is the 8-year-old’s mother, "was intoxicated" as she decided to leave the residence of her own mother – the child’s grandmother. The girl "was concerned about her driving due to her intoxication level and followed Garcia out to her vehicle," the department said in a statement.
