Milton mother Esther Lucero charged with public drunkenness and indecent exposure

State child welfare officials are investigating a Milton mother after a drunken incident, police said.

 

Alpharetta police said they charged 34-year-old Esther Lucero after they found her passed out in her car outside a local bar.

 

A dashcam video supplied by police shows them trying to arrest a very drunk Lucero on March 19 after they found her inside her vehicle, "unclothed and seemingly unresponsive to their request to speak with her," Lt. Charles Barstow said.
 
Police report shows a bartender at Montana's Grill took away Lucero's keys after she'd had too much to drink.
 
But Barstow says officers soon leaed this was more than a case of public drunkenness.
 
"She is the single parent there and was not at the residence and was out at the bar drinking instead, Barstow said.
 
Police said Lucero's 11-year-old son was home alone, and while Barstow said Georgia law doesn't require parental supervision of children over the age of 9 in some cases.
  "Our officers were conceed enough to where they made contact with DFACS and made them aware of the situation, he said.
 
Barstow said child welfare investigators are looking into the situation.
 

 

Lucero is facing only public drunkenness and public indecency charges.
 
Petchenik contacted Lucero for comment, and she emailed back to say she had no comment and threatened to call the police to report harassment if he asked any questions.
