Allegedly Drunk Mom Leaves Daughter on the Side of the Road

Thirty year old Tara Biller of Fredricksburg is facing DUI charges after allegedly leaving her ten year old daughter in a ditch on the side of the road. According to news reports, a pizza delivery driver alerted officials when she saw a Chevy Taho swerve over to the side of the road. She could see a child beating on the passenger window before exiting the vehicle. Then the car drove away, leaving the little girl out in the cold!

The police tracked down Biller who they said was visibly intoxicated. She was charged with DUI, driving on a suspended license, child endangerment, and refusing a breath test. The police department found the daughter safely sitting in the pizza delivery driver’s car. She was later released to family members, which is where she remains. The child said that her mom’s driving was scaring her.

Kudos to the little girl in this story. She felt as if she was in danger, and she did the right thing by demanding to get out of the car. The delivery driver was in the right place at the right time, and the outcome of this story is a good one… No one was hurt! The Commonwealth of Virginia has been selling liquor to people like Tara Biller and getting millions in their ABC stores. Shouldn’t the state require ignition interlocks on every vehicle before they issue tags for it?
