On Friday, April 28, 2023, at approximately 1:25 a.m., police responded to Buckets Sports Bar located at 12010 Rousby Hall Road in Lusby, for a check the welfare.
The first 911 caller advised an intoxicated female was walking around outside the business with a 13-year-old female and a 9-year old male.
Charging documents stated that Deputy Jones had previously responded to two calls earlier in the night involving the same woman and the two children.
In the prior incidents police responded to a residence in Lusby. The first call to 911 was from the son stating his mother was drunk and he did not feel safe. The case was handled by the Maryland State Police.
The second 911 call came from the father of the children who stated he received a phone call from his son stating his mother, Lisa Cathryn Goldsborough was drunk and torturing him and his sister, and the mother and sister were physically fighting.
Investigation found no assault occurred and Goldsborough was advised to let the children go to bed due to them having school the next day. It was noted Goldsborough was extremely intoxicated, had slurred speech, glossy and bloodshot eyes and was behaving erratically.
Goldsborough admitted she had been drinking and deputies observed multiple empty 99 proof liquor bottles in the residence in plain view.
When deputies arrived at the Buckets Sports Bar, they observed Goldsborough and the two children standing outside with one child hysterically crying and visibly upset. Goldsborough was observed stumbling, slurring her speech and had a strong odor of alcohol emitting from her breath. She told deputies she was trying to go home.
Deputies explained concern to Goldsborough about the children being out at a bar at such late hours of the night to which Goldsborough replied “not my problem.”
Goldsborough told Deputy Zinn she drove to Buckets and when the deputy pointed at a white minivan and asked if she drove here in this, she replied “yeah I did.” The van was recognized by officers from the previous two incidents earlier in the night.
Deputies began speaking to the children, one child handed the officer a phone to talk to their aunt, identified as Goldsborough’s sister. The aunt was overheard asking the deputy what was going on when Goldsborough immediately shouted “I’m drunk, big f##king deal, I’m drunk”.
Goldsborough was asked if she would be willing to perform standardized field sobriety testing, to which she agreed, however a short time later she became erratic and uncooperative, and told the officer “F##k you” and began to walk away.
She was placed into custody for impaired driving due to admitting she drove to the bar.
At this point, employees of Bucket’s advised Goldsborough was inside the bar flashing people by pulling her shirt up and exposing her breasts.
The children admitted to officers walking to the bar from the residence on Susan Lane “because we were really scared.” The 13-year-old knew where Goldsborough had gone because she told them she was leaving and she saw Goldsborough get into the van and leave. The 9-year-old child admitted he called Goldsborough over 30 times before she answered her phone.
Deputies remained with the children until a family member could pick them up.
Child protective services was contacted and given all information from the three incidents.
Lisa Cathryn Goldsborough age 41 of Lusby was arrested and charged with two counts of Neglect of a Minor and one count of Indecent Exposure, and multiple Traffic Violations.
She was released the same day on her own recognizance.
