A mother was charged with endangering the welfare of her child and thrown in jail for being drunk while breastfeeding at a restaurant, ABC News reported.
The charges were, however, dropped last week.
Tasha Adams, from Toad Suck, Arkansas, made plans to have dinner with her parents in a nearby town of Conway.
Once there, the stay-at-home mom was accused by a waitress of having a drink and then breastfeeding her child.
"We had a pizza, and then we had a big old thing of spinach dip. Then, I had a beer with that, and then I had another one later on after," said Adams.
But Jackie Connors claims to have seen otherwise. Showing up early for an after hours staff meeting, the off-duty waitress said she saw something very different that disturbed her.
"They looked like they were having a good time, just drinking," Connors told "20/20." "Things started getting louder and louder, and then the baby started getting fussy."
According to Connors, Adams began to breastfeed Ana, but she wasn't drinking beer.
"There were several drinks in front of her, about ... two or three drinks in front of her already, when I got there," Connors said. "I watched the bartender make them, looked like Long Islands. But regardless if it was that or not, then it was strong liquor that was in those glasses."
Not knowing what to do, Connors, who has a daughter of her own, reached out to her own mother for help, ABC News reported.
"She texted me back and said, 'Call the police,' said Connors.
The police was contacted and called in. They immediately started questioning Adams.
"And they said, ma'am, um, we've got a report that you were drinking alcohol while breastfeeding. And I said, okay. I didn't know that was illegal," said Adams.
According to ABC News, "Adams was right. Arkansas law doesn't say anything about drinking and breastfeeding. But after Adams admitted that she had two drinks, the officers made a judgment call: they told Adams to call a sober family member to drive her baby home and then arrested her for endangering the welfare of a child."
But the question remains as to whether Adams did endanger her baby's health.
"Once in a while to consume a drink, probably will not do any harm for the baby," said ABC Senior Medical Contributor, Dr. Jen Ashton.
Adam's charges were dropped by the district attorney last week, ABC News reported.
"I'll say it 'til the day I die. I was sober enough to breastfeed my kid," said Adams.
The management of the restaurant did not respond to requests for comment, but the waitress, Jackie Connors, was fired the week after calling the cops on Adams.
"If I was ever in that situation again, I would still do the same thing because that baby can't speak up for itself," said Connors.
