Standards tests showed the mom shouldn't have been driving.
Police ended up performing a preliminary breath test along with standard sobriety tests. The results of those determined that she was "impaired to an extent that she could not safely operate a vehicle."
This is not her first driving infraction.
According to online court records, the mom has had other driving infractions in the past 10 years. Some of those included guilty pleas for exceeding the speed limit and driving without a certificate of inspection.
No plea has been entered.
Lukasiak has not entered a plea on the DUI charge, according to an attorney listed in her court records. He declined further comment on the case. Lukasiak is the mother of Chloe Lukasiak. The two were on Dance Moms and left the show in season four.
