FL Mom Accused Of Driving Drunk With Kids In Car, Attacking Officer

A Homestead mother was arrested Sunday on accusations of driving drunk with her two children in the car and attacking her arresting officer.

Isis Gonzalez Torres, 29, is now facing charges of child neglect and battery on an officer.

According to an arrest report, an officer found Torres in the front seat of her car in the 1200 block of Southeast 31st Court around 9 p.m. with her two children - ages 1 and 2 - crying uncontrollably and without seat belts on in the back.

The officer then allegedly knocked on the window and Torres, who was slumped over onto the passenger seat, jumped up.

According to an arrest report, when Torres was asked to get out of the car, it started to roll back before she was able to press the brakes to stop it.

During the encounter, Torres allegedly called the officer the "N" word and lunged at him, kicking him in the groin. The officer removed Torres from the car and placed her on the ground, where she tried to bite his leg several times, the report said.

According to the arrest report, the officer used pepper spray to get her under control.

The report said Torres wasn't supposed to have custody of the children, but Torres denied that during a Monday court appearance. 

Torres has other legal cases on her record, including drinking in public, defrauding an innkeeper and disorderly intoxication.

She was ordered held in lieu of a $7,500 bond.
