A Brownsville woman is facing charges after a police officer allegedly caught her driving 10 people and two children with the headlights off.
Brownsville police arrested 22-year-old Stephanie Ann Rodriguez on multiple criminal charges early Monday morning.
Investigators told Action 4 News that a police officer pulled over her car on the 4200 block of Boca Chica Boulevard.
The officer reported that Rodriguez was driving a car with 10 people and two babies without child safety seats.
Brownsville police officer Billy Killebrew spoke to Action 4 News about the incident.
“Being that there are so many people in the car you have two children they are probably sitting on someone’s lap, if they make a sudden stop or they are involved in a accident those children are going to be ejected or hit a windshield,” Officer Killebrew said.
Police charged Rodriguez with reckless driving and two counts of child endangerment.
