A woman was desperately trying to get to a bar to have some more drinks.
The Florida woman was arrested on Friday, and was charged with drunken driving on her way to a bar with eight children in her truck. She remained in jail on Tuesday, on $325,000 bond, according to public records.
Lawanda Lowery-Gale is also charged with eight counts of negligence, property damage and driving with a suspended license, jail records of Alachua County show.
