A Lone Tree woman is accused of operating while intoxicated and child endangerment without injury after police say she was weaving through traffic with her two children in the car.
Complaints from the Johnson County Sheriff's Office said 27-year-old Amanda Jo Walsh was weaving between lanes and crossing the center line of the road near Sand Road and Nursery Lane early Wednesday morning when she was stopped by an officer.
The officer said Walsh had glassy eyes and smelled of alcohol when he approached her, and that she had her four and six year old children in the backseat of the car.
Reports said roadside sobriety tests indicated Walsh was under the influence of alcohol, and she blew .153 in a preliminary breath test. Later, testing showed Walsh had a blood alcohol content level of .141.
