Deputies with Constable Mark Herman's office said she showed several signs of intoxication, and a 3-year-old child was in the vehicle.

Authorities said Trace failed two sobriety tests at the scene. Officials also said the mother of the child was a drunken passenger in the vehicle with Trace, but wasn't arrested.

The child was released to a guardian at the location, according to authorities.

Editor's Note: A previous version of this story stated that the child in the vehicle was Trace's, but authorities later changed the reported information and said the child was actually the passenger's.
