Drunk mom locks 1-year-old inside car to celebrate New Year’s Eve at Tennessee bar: cops A Tennessee mom who chose partying over parenting kicked off the new year behind bars. Police arrested the intoxicated Chattanooga woman after a bystander found her 1-year-old daughter locked inside a vehicle that was parked in front of a bar late Thursday night, authorities said. The bystander spotted the baby girl alone in the car about an hour before midnight and immediately busted one of the windows to rescue her, according to an arrest affidavit obtained Friday by local station NewsChannel 9. Officers eventually identified the driver as 25-year-old Sylvie King, who walked out of the bar and approached a police car while “very disorganized and irate,” the affidavit reportedly states.
