A 28-year old Murfreesboro woman was arrested by police after allegedly trying to pick up her child from a daycare center while intoxicated. The incident unfolded at a day care facility on Cason Lane. The workers at the facility noted that Mary Johnson was acting strange and had fallen out of a chair. One worker took Johnson’s keys away from her and called police.  Police arrived and determined that Johnson was likely intoxicated and therefore charged her with public intoxication. Johnson was also charged with child abuse / neglect due to her 2-year old being involved in the mishap. The Department of Children Services were notified.
