LAS VEGAS (KLAS) A mother is accused of driving drunk with her child and firing a gunshot into the air after a fight with a man in a densely populated neighborhood, Las Vegas Metro police said.<\/p>\n
Tiffany Watts faces charges of discharging a gun or weapon where a person might be endangered, child abuse or neglect, and DUI, records showed.<\/p>\n
Police said they responded to a call Friday for an illegal shooting in a residential area near Grand Teton Drive and Jones Boulevard in the northwest valley.<\/p>\n
Responding officers spoke to a witness, who said a woman and a man had gotten into a fight before she heard the gunshot. Officers then attempted to locate a truck possibly involved, later finding it near the intersection of Bradley Road and Severance Lane, they said.<\/p>\n
Police stopped the car, finding Watts and a child inside, they said.<\/p>\n
As officers cleared the vehicle, [an officer] observed in plain view a black Glock in a holster underneath the drivers seat, officers wrote in an arrest report.<\/p>\n
The child told police Watts and another man got into a fight, which later prompted Watts to retrieve the gun from the car and fire a round into the air, police said.<\/p>\n
Police also noted Watts had a slight odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage on her breath at the time, they said.<\/p>\n
A judge released Watts on her own recognizance without any bail on Saturday, records showed. The judges name was not listed in the record.<\/p>\n
As part of her release agreement, Watts was ordered to stay out of trouble.<\/p>\n
