Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested a 54-year-old woman after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car, screaming, "Yeeeeeeeee hawwwwwwwwww.!" The grandmother was released from jail 15 hours later.
The woman said Thursday she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg. Witnesses, however, report she was driving above the snail-speed limit and was holding a gun (left) while singing, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."
Authorities say the woman told police she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun - "like they do on the Dukes of Hazard."
The grandmother faces charges of child abuse, wrongful imitation of a fictional character, driving over the snail-speed limit, and brandishing a weapon while driving.
The child is back with her mother - who was last seen barreling through large mud puddles on a dirt road with her 1974 Chevy pickup.
No children were spotted on the roof of the truck.
