A mother accused of driving drunk with her young children in the car has been indicted by a Franklin County grand jury.
Sarah L. Insko, 27, of Owenton, was driving with two flat tires on April 9 and stopped in the Capital Plaza hotel garage, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Larry Cleveland.
Police say she blew a .131 on a blood-alcohol content test - well above the legal limit of .08.
Insko was indicted on charges of aggravated operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
Cleveland said her children, ages 1 and 8, were in the car at the time. Before stopping, she had apparently struck something and damaged the two tires on the driver’s side of her 2003 Chevy Geo Tracker, Cleveland said.
Insko told police she’d driven from a bar in Georgetown, Cleveland said.
“I understand people’s kids drive them to drink, but I wish they wouldn’t drive to drink with the kids in the car,” he said.
Cleveland said he has prosecuted several similar cases recently.
The Franklin County grand jury also issued indictments Wednesday against:
>Robert G. Brooks, 45, of 741 Holmes St., first-degree possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
>Mark Allen Murphy, 20 of 855 Louisville Road, first-degree possession of a controlled substance.
>Thomas D. Niceley, 30, of Versailles, operating a motor vehicle on a suspended or revoked license, first-degree possession of a controlled substance and second-degree being a persistent felony offender.
