Deputy Whitney Hendon said neither Bernard nor her son was wearing a seat belt when he pulled alongside her SUV. When Bernard pulled over moments later, the boy was in the front passenger seat wearing a seat belt, with a dog sitting in the back seat.
Arresting officer, Herndon told WISN: “She stated there was no one who operated the car other than her,” Herndon said.
“That’s when the small child began to cry. He said, ‘I don’t want to go to jail.’”
The boy has since been turned over to child protective services.
“It was concerning to me the mom would risk her 8-year-old child so she could operate a vehicle,” Hendon continued. “You’re risking your child and the public. It’s scary to think about.”
