In Delray Beach, Florida, a woman was recently charged for driving under the influence and authority say that she had her four-year-old daughter in the back seat of her vehicle.

Police say that she was so impaired that she could barely stand up.

However, police noted that she was driving in the opposite direction of her residence.

Odom was placed under arrest and charged with DUI as well as child neglect. On Wednesday, she was released on her own recognizance and officers called the child's father to have him pick up the girl.
