Two Drivers Arrested Recently with Children in Vehicle

COWETA COUNTY – Nothing makes a dangerous situation into a tragedy more than the addition of children. Sadly two individuals were arrested last week, each with multiple children in the vehicle.

On August 14th, 2024, Madison Jade Whitlam, 28 of Lagrange was stopped by the Georgia State Patrol for speeding. After an investigation, she was arrested and charged with DUI – Alcohol. Inside the vehicle she was driving while intoxicated were two children… and multiple open containers of alcohol.

Not to be outdone, on August 16th, 2024, John Edwin Martin, 37, of Newnan was stopped by the Georgia State Patrol for following too closely. After an investigation, he was arrested and charged with DUI – Alcohol. In this case, Martin was traveling intoxicated with 4 children in the vehicle.

In the state of Georgia, a suspect that is found to be driving a vehicle while intoxicated with a child in the vehicle is charged with an additional charge for each child in the vehicle. The charge, Endangering a Child by Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, is a misdemeanor and carries the same bond amount as the accompanying DUI charge which is $1700.

Whitlam and Martin mark the 16th and 17th DUI suspects arrested with children in the vehicle in 2024.
