This Is The "DUI Mom" Ratted Out By Her Kid

This Is The "DUI Mom" Ratted Out By Her KidThis is Jamie Hicks, a.k.a. the "DUI Mom." The Long Island mother was arrested Sunday for driving with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit after her 10-year-old child called 911 from the backseat of their out-of-control car.

Authorities say Jamie Hicks was driving along Interstate 84 near the Town of Southeast, New York on Sunday, July 25th when her 10-year-old called the police to complain about their mother. The kid told the 911 operator their 49-year-old mom was speaking incorrectly and driving out-of-control.

Police intercepted her vehicle and arrested her for driving drunk. She also gets the additional felony charge under "Leandra's Law" for driving drunk with a passenger under the age of 15. Hicks was released after posting bail and will be in court next month.
