San Diego Mom Faces DUI Charge for the Third Time
The California Attorney General’s office has filed charges of and child endangerment and drunk driving in San Diego against a 27-year-old woman after officials say she confronted an off-duty police officer, an incident which ended with her 8-year-old son getting shot. According to a news article in the Los Angeles Times, Rachel Silva allegedly city off San Diego Police Officer Frank White’s car in traffic and then chased him into an Oceanside parking lot where she slammed her car into White’s.
The crime report states that Silva was behaving in an aggressive manner and was revving her engine as she followed the off-duty police officer into the parking lot. The officer ended up firing five times into her car, hitting her twice in the arm and her son twice in the leg. Silva reportedly has two prior DUI convictions.
