Brittany Hicks, 26, was pulled over for driving erratically near the intersection of Route 517 and Main Street in Hackettstown just after 10 p.m., authorities said in a release.
Hicks — who police say had smoked the synthetic cannabinoids just half an hour prior to getting behind the wheel — was driving with her three-year-old child in the car and showed clear signs of impairment, authorities said.
Additional K2 spice was found in the vehicle’s center console, authorities said.
Hicks was taken to Hackettstown Medical Center, and the child was turned over to an adult, authorities said.
Hicks was charged with driving under the influence, endangering the welfare of a child, being under the influence of synthetic cannabinoids and reckless driving.
She was released pending an appearance in court.
