Trafalgar woman arrested after leaving son at accident scene

A Trafalgar woman was arrested after police said she crashed her vehicle while intoxicated, left her 10-year-old son at the accident scene and kicked and spit on police officers.

Tina E. Hubbard, 46, 6573 S. County Road 200W., was arrested on charges of neglect of a dependent, intimidation, battery, resisting law enforcement, disorderly conduct and driving while intoxicated.

A man called police at 1:22 a.m. Saturday to the intersection of Hurricane Road and East Eastview Drive in Franklin on a report that a vehicle was on a curb and a woman was yelling at her son.

The man told dispatchers that the woman was fleeing and leaving her 10-year-old behind, according to a report from the Franklin Police Department.

The man told police he was traveling east of Arvin Road when he was flagged down by the son on the side of the road. The son told the man his mother had been drinking and crashed the car and the man saw the vehicle crashed on a curb. The son did not have shoes or socks on, the report said.

The son told police that his mother said they were going for a drive and drove to a liquor store in Franklin. After they left the liquor store, Hubbard was driving fast and drove the car onto a curb, according to the report.

Officers found the vehicle Hubbard was driving near the intersection of Johnson Avenue and Ohio Street. Hubbard was passed out in the driver’s seat with her head hanging out of the window, the report said.

The officer yelled several times to wake Hubbard up and the officer noticed that she had blood shot eyes, her speech was slurred and she had urinated on herself. She asked officers if they wanted her to pull over and said she was going to work. She also tried to put the vehicle in park several times, even though the vehicle was already parked, the report said.

Officers arrested Hubbard and she resisted being taken to the police car. She kicked an officer after she was placed in the car, the report said.

Hubbard blew a 0.254 percent blood-alcohol content about two hours after the police were called. She spit on an officer and kicked another officer in the hip while being booked into the Johnson County jail, the report said.

She was held on $16,000 bond.
