Drunk Mom Leaves Child In Her Car After Accident

This woman just went from this—to this. The police first encountered her when she crashed her van into another vehicle. Fast forward an hour, and she was reported to have abandoned her child in the same van she had crashed near her school. She was nowhere to be found, having fled the scene. Meanwhile, dispatch reported that a woman had been involved in a battery, prompting another team of officers to investigate the scene. This development would connect many dots. The child’s relatives were unhappy with the school for not releasing her. The officers were still doing their best to understand what was happening with Margarita. At this point, the officers were quite certain that she was drunk when she crashed her van. Slowly, Margarita became increasingly agitated, to the point where she was about to refuse a medical check-up. One could only imagine what her children witnessed on a daily basis. At the same time, the school staff were trying to reason with Margarita’s relatives. For the brief time the man was in a tussle with her, he was pretty scared for his life after she threatened to have him killed. A member of the school staff explained the tag system to the officer. Margarita was on the verge of doing some extremely reckless things in jail. Her trip to the hospital wasn’t a pleasant one either. As the officers mentioned, since she had not been medically cleared, she was sent back to the hospital again. She was charged with DUI, Assault, Failure to ID, Battery, Resisting Arrest and Abandonment of Child.
