A Brooklyn woman was arrested on Dec. 2 in Oceanside after police said she was driving drunk with a child unrestrained in the back seat.
Officers stopped a 2015 Nissan on Long Beach Road near Tilrose Avenue at 10:32 p.m. after observing the vehicle failing to stay in its lane. When officers approached, they found a 7-year-old boy sitting unrestrained in the backseat, police said.
