Normally, a drunk driver would not dare to go near the scene of police activity. However, on Wednesday night, Spotsylvania County Sheriff's say that's what happened when Sophia McMahon called on a friend to drive her car home after she had been arrested for public intoxication. When the friend, Jacqueline Johnson, arrived, police say that she was under the influence.
According to a press release, at around 8:30 p.m. on May 11, Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the 9815 block of Courthouse Road after receiving a number of reports of a reckless driving who had just pulled into the Fastmart parking lot in Courtland Commons.
Once on the scene, a deputy discovered Spotsylvania resident McMahon, age 23, out of the car and attempting to remove her young son from the back seat. Police say that McMahon smelled of alcohol and appeared to be drunk. Tests revealed that McMahon had twice the legal limit of alcohol in her system. After a minor struggle, Sophia was arrested for public intoxication and child neglect. Her son was turned over to family members.
Once arrested, McMahon arranged for her friend Johnson, also age 23, also from Spotsylvania, to drive her car home. Police say that when Johnson arrived, she was was too drunk to drive. Johnson was arrested for driving under the influence.
The vehicle was eventually picked up by a sober driver. Both McMahon and Johnson were taken to Rappahannock Regional Jail.
