An 8 year-old girl attempted to prevent her mother from driving while she was drunk.
The California woman was arrested on Thursday. She allegedly dragged the little girl and another person as she drove off.
When 44 year-old Erin Garcia was leaving her mother’s residence, her daughter walked behind her as she went to the car. She got ahold of the door on the passenger’s side and pleaded with her mom to stop.
Garcia glanced over at her child and drove away pulling her 300 feet.
When a witness saw what was happening, he assisted Garcia’s mother in trying to get her out of the vehicle. However, the male victim was dragged, as well. Garcia then left the scene.
When officers arrived, they found Garcia in bushes behind the location. She began kicking as she was taken into custody.
The girl and witness were treated for their “moderate injuries” at a hospital.
