A drunk driving suspect who told Florida cops she had not consumed alcohol was contradicted by her own nine-year-old son, who declared from the car’s back seat, “Mom, you can’t lie to the police. You did drink.”
Kristin Wiley, a 49-year-old teacher, narrowly avoided striking a police car as she drove on a Vero Beach street around 2 AM. The cop car, with its lights flashing, had pulled over to handle an unrelated incident.
When asked if she had been drinking, Wiley said “No.”
That is when, cops say, Wiley’s son replied to his mother’s answer by saying, “Mom, you can’t lie to the police. You did drink.” The boy subsequently told cops that his mother had been drinking at a party and that he had asked her to slow down while they were driving back to their Vero Beach residence. The child said he “was very scared while Kristen was operating the vehicle,” a cop reported.
