Ashley L. Waldron, 24, pleaded not guilty in Clark County Municipal Court on Monday to charges that include operating a vehicle while intoxicated, having an open container and four counts of child endangering.
Four children ranging in age from 7 months to 17 years old were in the car when the alleged incident occurred, court records say.
An officer was dispatched to Evergreen Drive in German Township on Friday, Jan. 26. A car was backed into a tree and stuck in a yard, according to court records. The officer allegedly saw a Bud Ice beer can on the floor of the car and a half-empty bottle of brandy underneath it, court records say.
Waldron allegedly had difficulty keeping her balance, the report says, and the officer conducted a field sobriety test. A blood alcohol test was also administered and Waldron allegedly was found over the legal limit.
