Medina, who was driving a silver 2016 Kia Sorrento westbound on Clubhouse Road where it terminates at Live Oak Road, had driven through Live Oak Road and off the roadway and through a fence before her car came to rest near a tree in a residential backyard. No other vehicles were involved.<\/p>\n<p>Medina sustained no injuries from the crash. A child was also in the vehicle and sustained no injuries. The child abuse without great bodily harm charge stems from the child being placed in immediate danger of injury and\/or death by the actions of Ms. Medina.<\/p>\n<p>According to the affidavit, Medina&#8217;s eyes were bloodshot and watery and she slurred her speech. Medina consented to and failed a standardized field sobriety test.<\/p>\n<p>Medina told deputies she was on her way home from a graduation party and had one glass of wine. She claimed her brakes failed at the intersection. Medina is employed as an attendance counselor at Lakeland Christian School.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_158696\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-158696\" style=\"width: 764px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-158696\" src=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MUG-Brittney-Medina.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"764\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MUG-Brittney-Medina.jpg 764w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MUG-Brittney-Medina-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MUG-Brittney-Medina-696x394.jpg 696w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MUG-Brittney-Medina-743x420.jpg 743w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-158696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brittney Medina \/ Mugshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;There is no excuse for placing a child in danger,&#8221; said Sheriff Grady Judd. &#8220;Thankfully, no one was hurt or killed in this crash.
