LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities in Las Vegas are accusing a 23-year-old mother of driving drunk at 121 mph when she crashed her car into another car during the weekend, killing her infant son.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that a judge on Tuesday set bail at $50,000 for Lauren Prescia after noting the "excessive" speed on a city street and calling it a danger to the community.
Prescia appeared with a court-appointed public defender and was not asked to enter a plea. A police arrest report said the boy's father had just given their 1-year-old son to Prescia in a custody exchange.
