TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee woman is facing DUI and child endangerment charges after crashing her car into pole while a child was in the front seat.
Kindle Fletcher was arrested early Wednesday morning after Leon County deputies responded the intersection of North Meridian Road and Maclay Road for a crash.
According to arrest documents, Fletcher was still sitting inside her car when deputies arrived while her child passenger was waiting outside of the car.
When they spoke with Fletcher, authorities detected the odor of alcohol on her breath and noted that her eyes appeared glassy and blood-shot. As they spoke to her, Fletcher said she didn't know how she got into the accident or what happened.
Documents say she appeared to be shocked that her car had hit a utility pole and didn't know how the car got there in the first place. Fletcher later refused to submit to sobriety exercises.
When asked if she had anything to drink, Fletcher stated that she had one glass of wine, but later admitted that she had two glasses. She told investigators that alcohol affects her more because of her small size.
Based on the evidence, Fletcher was arrested and transported to the Leon County Detention Center. Documents say her child passenger was transported away from the scene and the Florida Department of Children and Families was notified.
Fletcher is charged with DUI, child endangerment, and a warrant for violation of an injunction. She has since gotten out of jail on a $4,500 bond.
