The officer conducted a traffic stop and the driver, 27-year-old Bridget Lunn McDonald of Plymouth appeared to be under the influence of some type of drug. McDonald was taken into custody and the 9-month-old child in the car was turned over to the Division of Child Services.
McDonald was held on a $1,500 cash bond for Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated Endangering.
