Mom allegedly drove drunk with infant in car

A mother who allegedly drove drunk with her infant and another child in the car is being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $5,000 bond Wednesday.

Tequana Graham, 23, was pulled over by the Ohio State Highway Patrol on North Gettysburg Ave. near the intersection with James H. McGee Blvd. at about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday night. According to Sgt. Steve Duteil, she was pulled over for several lane violations and only having one working headlight.

Graham’s 7-month-old child was in the car, along with another female and that woman’s 2-year-old daughter. Both adults were intoxicated, according to the incident report.

Graham told the trooper that she felt she didn't have a problem driving with the kids in the car because she had taken a nap, according to Duteil.

A Breathalyzer test was administered and Graham’s blood alcohol content was .151, nearly twice the legal limit in Ohio of .08.

Duteil said both children were properly secured in child seats.

The Ohio State Patrol is currently conducting a joint enforcement in west Dayton in conjunction with Dayton Police and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office to curb drunk driving and other criminal offenses.

2 area sex offenders captured in Ky., Ga.

A homeless sex offender wanted for failing to register in Clark County has been located in Kentucky, the Clark County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday.

The sheriff’s office got word Wednesday morning that Justin Lee Scott, 31, was taken into custody by Fayette County sheriff’s deputies in Lexington. He is awaiting an extradition hearing to be brought back to Ohio.

On Tuesday, the Clark County Sheriff's Office received notification from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office in Cumming, Ga., that they also had a locally registered sex offender in custody.  That suspect, 37-year-old Johnny Taylor, had previously failed to register in Clark County and warrants had been issued for his arrest.

Clark County deputies have been working with Georgia authorities to track Taylor after receiving a tip that he was in that state. Arrangements are also being made to have Taylor returned to Springfield to answer to charges.

The Ohio Attorney General's Office has made grant money available to local jurisdictions that is specifically earmarked for the extradition of fugitive sex offenders that have fled the state.
