A 46-year-old St. Johns County woman faces charges of DUI and negligence after she was stopped while drinking vodka in the car on County Road 210, a report said.

Nicole Johnson had her 7-year-old son in the car during the midday stop on March 19, the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said.

Because no caregiver could be located, the child was taken into custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families.

Deputies said Johnson was driving all over the road and finally stopped her vehicle near at I-95 and County Road 210. She fell down multiple times while being questioned, the report said.

Johnson was spotted with a clear liquid in the center console of the car. Johnson admitted the clear liquid was new Amsterdam Vodka.

While she was being taken to jail, Johnson repeatedly said her feelings were hurt and that she "didn't want to kill them, but knew we had to but it hurt her feelings." Johnson was referring to chickens, the report said.

Johnson refused to take a breath test. She was taken to Flagler Hospital to be checked out before she was returned to the St. Johns County Jail.

Johnson was released on $2,500 bond on March 20.
