"I'm going to get a DUI," the 19-year-old sobbed as members of the Stafford County Sheriff's Office responded to an early morning Sunday crash, officials said.
Shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 19, deputies were called to the intersection of Ferry Road and Hillcrest Terrace to investigate a single-vehicle crash involving Watson, who was speeding through the area before crash landing into the fence and coming to rest in a neighbor's yard.
Officials say that Watson was driving approximately 70 mph in a 35 mph "because she wanted to get home faster," but instead, she wound up taking a one-way trip to Rappahannock Regional Jail.
According to investigators, when the alcohol was brought up, Watson admitted to consuming a Long Island iced tea at a business in Central Park, and when probed about how the underage woman got a hold of the booze, she took out a fake driver's license.
It was also further determined that Watson's vehicle had an expired inspection sticker, and a 17-year-old passenger was also drunk.
- Watson was arrested and charged with:
- Driving under the influence with a child;
- Underage driving under the influence;
- Felony child endangerment;
- Contributing too the delinquency of a minor;
- Possession of a fake license;
- Failure to maintain proper control of her vehicle;
- Reckless driving;
- Underage purchase of alcohol;
- The expired inspection sticker.
She's being held at the jail without bond.
