She says she was just trying to put her baby to sleep, but a mother's method got her arrested at the state fair.

The sheriff's department in Jefferson County says Kathryn Bowen bought a cup of wine at the horse show at Freedom Hall, but Bowen apparently didn't intend to drink it, or drink all of it.

Two police officers were watching nearby.

"The deputy and the corrections officer observed her remove the bottle from a bag, uncap the bottle, place the contents of the glass into the bottle and then handed it to the baby who then proceeded to consume it," said Major Chris Hancock of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.

Officers quickly arrested Bowen.

She's charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, a misdemeanor.

I know this woman. She is a wonderful lady, and her baby was given back the next day as the civil case was dismissed. There was no substance found in the infant, and the media should be ashamed of finding someone guilty before gathering all of the facts. This is a beautiful woman, and that is why they were watching her. She is also a giving, loving individual who has donated money and time to charity. too bad there aren't more people like her is this world.

The mother is probably a democrat: dumbed-down and ignorant.

Certainly sounds like the baby was used to drinking doesn't it. Mike , I agree with you-she could give the baby one of HER cigarettes and HER food stamp card-I'm sure she has them both to go with her wine.
