Owasso Mom Jailed For Trying To Force Others To Bypass Car's Ignition Interlock Device

Police arrested an Owasso woman who they said tried to get relatives and restaurant employees to bypass into her car's breath alcohol ignition interlock device [BAIID] early Monday.

Just after midnight, Owasso Police were called to a restaurant in the 9200 block of North Owasso Expressway.  When they arrived they found Kayla Martin-Weliwita, 35, who appeared to be intoxicated.  

The relatives told police that Kayla was drunk and wanted them to provide a breath sample for her car's BAIID, but they had refused.  

A breath alcohol ignition interlock device[BAIID] requires a driver to blow into a mouthpiece before starting the vehicle.  If the blood-alcohol concentration is above state mandated limits, the engine will not start.

Police also talked with restaurant employees who said Kayla Martin-Weliwita had asked several of them to provide breath samples for her vehicle's BAIID, but they had refused.

Kayla Martin-Weliwita was booked into the Tulsa County jail on complaints of public intoxication, child abuse and neglect.  Jail records show her bond at $100,000 with a court appearance set for June 7.
