JANESVILLE - Janesville police say a Beloit woman who was driving drunk with a 1-year-old child in her vehicle crashed into a light pole.

The child wasn't hurt.

Police were called to the scene of the crash Saturday just before 3 a.m. Officers say the 32-year-old driver failed field-sobriety tests and admitted to drinking prior to the crash.

Police say they found an open bottle of vodka in the vehicle.

The woman's 1-year-old child was examined at a hospital. No injuries were found.

The woman was arrested on three tentative charges that included third-offense drunken driving and having open intoxicants in a vehicle.
