VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - An 8-year-old boy riding in a car with his mom called 911 several times to report that she wasn't "acting normal," leading to her arrest for investigation of drunken driving and other charges, authorities said.

 

Paulette Lynn Spears, 33, was arrested Saturday after she drove tocher not to worry and hung up, Walker said. The boy called back, and again his mother cut short the call, Walker said.

 

"The mother kept interrupting the 8-year-old," he said. "It happened at least twice."

 

At one point, Walker said, Spears apparently bit the boy's hand to get the telephone away from him.

 

Four minutes before the boy's first call, dispatchers had received a report of car that matched the description of Spears' car being driven erratically.

 

The boy and a 5-year-old child, who was also in the car, were placed with an aunt. As of Monday, Spears remained in jail for investigation of drunken driving, two counts of reckless endangerment and assault of a child. It was not clear if she had a lawyer to speak for her because she had not appeared in court.

 

Records show she has at least one conviction for drunken driving.

I also saw a report on this on TV including part of the call and a brief look at mom in her jail attire. She looked and sounded charming ... NOT!
