Rachale Peloquin : "Doesn't Get A F*cking Break She Is A Single Mother"

A Minnesota woman is behind bars after killing the youngest of her three children by drunkenly crashing her SUV into a water-filled ditch, according to law enforcement.

Rachale Francine Peloquin, 28, stands accused of one count of criminal vehicular homicide – negligence – under the influence of alcohol, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

At around 6:30 p.m., Peloquon was traveling along Highway 36 when she turned onto Highway 61, according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Minnesota Star Tribune, Minneapolis-based Fox affiliate KMSP, and St. Paul-based ABC affiliate KSTP.

But the mother of three took the exit ramp too fast and lost control, according to an incident report by the Minnesota State Patrol.

Then, the Tahoe flipped over and careened into a nearby swamp, according to law enforcement. By the time state troopers arrived, they met with "frantic emergency services personnel" intent on saving the baby trapped under the wreckage, according to the complaint.

Peloquin, visibly injured with cuts on her arms and legs, shouted "save my baby" over and over as personnel worked to save the boy. Eventually, using hydraulic tools, the Maplewood Fire Department was able to extricate the SUV from the water. But, by then, it was too late for 1-year-old Revon Melvin Anthony Todd. The child was pronounced dead at the scene.

A state trooper asked the grieving mother what happened. The defendant said she was taking her children to see their grandmother so she could have some free time to herself.

"I'm a single mom and I don't get a f–ing break," Peloquin allegedly told the troopers. "I don't get a break."

When making the turn, the defendant allegedly stated that she somehow lost control – citing wet driving conditions and somewhat bald tires.

The defendant, for her part, allegedly admitted to drinking – but insisted she had last imbibed "a couple of shots" the night before, according to the complaint. Troopers noted the presence of numerous Fireball Cinnamon Whisky shooter-sized bottles on the road, mirroring the Tahoe's path. Peloquin also allegedly admitted to smoking marijuana on the day of the crash, law enforcement claims.

Peloquin allegedly submitted to a breathalyzer test and blew a 0.172 blood-alcohol content (BAC), according to the complaint.

The legal limit in Minnesota is 0.08 BAC.

Disgusting! Imagine the absolute panic that baby felt as the crash occurred, the car filled with water and he was just trapped.

Also....
You're telling me that she was on the way to drop her kids off and she could not wait until she got home to get drunk?!
Even if grandma only agreed/asked after she was drunk, ask her to come get them or uber!
I really hope grandma doesn't feel guilty if she was the one who asked to have the kids, or more likely (I get I'm just tossing this out, but we all know it's definitely possible), she finally gave in to the constant last minute asking.
