A mom is facing DUI charges after driving 120 miles per hour on the Interstate 10 with her three-year-old child in the backseat, according to a Facebook post<\/a> by the Jacksonville<\/a> Sheriff’s Office (JSO). <\/p>\n

According to JSO, the officer who pulled her over smelled alcohol and marijuana in the car. That is when he enlisted the help of a dedicated DUI<\/a> officer for an investigation. <\/p>\n

In the video, the woman says that she left her other child, a 10-year-old, home alone while she was going to grab food. <\/p>\n

The DUI officer, Ernesto Valerio, is seen asking the woman if she had anything to drink. She replied, “I had a couple of glasses of wine after work when I got off.” <\/p>\n

Valerio then asks: “Any particular reason why we’re smelling marijuana<\/a> so much?” <\/p>\n

The woman replied that the marijuana was in the car, but she didn’t smoke any of it. <\/p>\n

An investigation determined that there were multiple bottles of alcohol<\/a> in the car and a joint of marijuana that looked freshly lit, according to Valerio. <\/p>\n

The woman, who has not been identified by JSO, was arrested for DUI and violating Florida’s Super Speeder law, which means that it’s a crime to go over 100 miles per hour. <\/p>\n

It is unclear if she will be facing jail time or be granted bond. DUI charges can range from 6 months to 5 years in prison. Violating the Super Speeder law could result in a $500 to $1000 bond, and\/or a month, three months, or up to a year of jail time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
