A Fredericksburg mother charged with abandoning her 10-year-old daughter on the side of the road earlier this month is facing new charges.
This time, authorities say, she is charged with endangering her infant son.
Spotsylvania Sheriff's Lt. Liz Scott said Deputy Jason Morris made a traffic stop on a 2006 Chrysler Sebring in the area of Mudd Tavern Road and Mallard Road around 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
The car was being driven by 30-year-old Tara Dawn Biller of Oak Court, Scott said.
After an investigation, Biller was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, child endangerment, possession of Oxycontin, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving on a suspended license.
Scott said Biller's infant son was found in the back seat of the vehicle, seated in a child safety seat, but was not buckled in. The child was turned over to a family friend.
The car Biller was driving belonged to her boyfriend who said he did not know she had taken the vehicle, Scott said.
About three weeks ago, Biller was charged with felony child endangerment, driving while intoxicated, driving on a suspended license and refusing to take a breath test after police said she drove her vehicle into a ditch and left her terrified 10-year-old daughter at the accident scene.
