A mother in LaGrange County faces charges after allegedly driving drunk with her children in the car.

She then struck a large rock head-on and her airbags were deployed. Her children were uninjured but she was taken to the hospital with facial injuries, where she was found to have a BAC of 0.14.

Herendeen faces felony charges of driving under the influence with passengers under the age of 18, a Level 6 felony, three counts of neglect of a dependent, a Level 6 felony, and a misdemeanor count of reckless driving.
