A Las Vegas prosecutor is accused of driving drunk with a sleeping child in the car, according to a report.
Nicole Malich, a Clark County, Nevada deputy district attorney, allegedly stank of booze, had 'thick and slurred' speech and 'sluggish' movements after she was pulled over for driving erratically around 2:30am on July 18, 8newsnow.com reported.
The Nevada Highway Patrol trooper pulled Malich over on US 95 near Tropicana because she couldn't stay in the lane, the I-Team reported.
She allegedly told police that she had one beer two hours before she was pulled over, but she allegedly failed a field sobriety test and was arrested after, according to the news outlet.
Malich was charged with DUI, child endangerment and traffic violations, and Child Protective Services took the child.
The Clark County District Attorney's Office said in an emailed statement to DailyMail.com that the case has been referred to the Nevada Attorney General’s office for review.
'As to Ms. Malich’s status with our office, that is a confidential personnel matter, and we will not be commenting on that at this time,' the DA's office said.
Malich makes over $100,000, according to Transparent Nevada.
