Meet 25 y/o Amber Anthony, 25, of Clifton Heights. That’s her mug shot below…
Amber won’t be winning any “Mother of the Year” awards for her performance at about 10:30 am on Monday, July 20th, 2015 when she apparently, and repeatedly, dozed off behind the wheel causing her car to slam into the back of the car in front of her several times in a Collingdale, PA Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru.
Compounding whatever problems / issues Amber may have had at the time is the fact that when she was arrested for driving under the influence, reckless driving, careless driving, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia she had her 2 y/o toddler son in the vehicle, which tacked on an additional count for reckless endangerment an minor. Per Collingdale, PA police they had gotten a call from a motorist who reported that a woman driving a white car behind him at the drive-thru of the Collingdale Dunkin’ Donuts kept falling asleep behind the wheel and bumping his vehicle. Responding officers ordered a visibly drowsy driver to pull over and exit the vehicle and when Amber stepped out of her car, police reported that said she appeared disoriented and confused, was unsteady on her feet and that her speech was slurred. In addition her toddler son was found crying in the backseat. A search of the vehicle incident to Amber’s arrest revealed a glass vial containing Xanax, a small amount of marijuana and a glass pipe.
Anthony’s son was taken to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital for observation and was later released into the custody of Child and Youth Services of Delaware County. Congrats Amber, maybe you can grace the cover of….
