Deputy: Milwaukee Woman Arrested for DUI Had 8-Year-Old Steering Car

The boy told the deputy he did not want to go jail

In a series of startlingly candid conversations, President Donald Trump told former FBI Director James Comey that he had serious concerns about the judgment of a top adviser, asked about the possibility of jailing journalists and described a boast from Vladimir Putin about Russian prostitutes, according to Comey’s notes of the talks obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday night. The 15 pages of documents contain new details about a series of interactions with Trump that Comey found so unnerving that he chose to document them in writing. Those seven encounters in the weeks and months before Comey’s May 2017 firing include a Trump Tower discussion about allegations involving Trump and prostitutes in Moscow; a White House dinner at which Comey says Trump asked him for his loyalty; and a private Oval Office discussion where the ex-FBI head says the president asked him to end an investigation into Michael Flynn, the former White House national security adviser.

Authorities say a 37-year-old Milwaukee woman arrested on suspicion of her third DUI had an 8-year-old boy on her lap steering the car.

A Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy saw the car entering an on-ramp on Thursday afternoon with a child seated on the driver's lap and steering the car. The deputy stopped the car and saw that the boy was crying. He told the deputy that he did not want to go jail.

The sheriff's office says the driver refused to cooperate with the deputy until the deputy's supervisor arrived. Authorities say the woman was visibly impaired and failed field sobriety tests.

Carrie Bernard was arrested and jailed, with charges pending. The child was turned over to Child Protective Services.

During the arrest a camera inside the police cruiser was rolling as Bernard said "I think I might have a drink after this."
