Mother Runs Over Baby’s Father Before Trying To Drown Baby

A drunk Texas mom ran over her child’s father with her car and then drove into a nearby lake, nearly drowning her 6-month-old baby in the backseat, police said.

Galveston police arrested 30-year-old Latonya Kirven Monday and charged her with driving while intoxicated with a child in the vehicle and assault with a deadly weapon after the Monday afternoon rampage.

Matt Grey, 70, suffered a broken neck and is in critical condition. Kirven and her baby, who was rescued from the sinking car, were uninjured, Houston’s KHOU reported.

Police said the incident started Monday afternoon when Kirven “flipped out” during an argument with Grey, the TV station reported. About 20 minutes later, Kirven drove into Offatts Bayou, police said.

“Once the car was tipping, you see the car seat for the baby tip over. My friend was like, ‘There is a baby, there is a baby,” Arcizo told the TV station. Arcizo jumped in to rescue the infant and his mother.

“I was struggling with her to get the baby from her,” Arcizo said. “She wouldn’t give him up. She kept pulling him from me and putting him under water.”
