Indiana woman arrested, charged with driving drunk with 8 children in SUV

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — A central Indiana woman is accused of drunken driving with eight children under the age of 12 in her vehicle.

The Herald Bulletin reports 26-year-old Jenny Karkosky of Anderson faces eight felony counts of neglect of a dependent child, drunken driving and other charges. Police say a breath test indicated her blood alcohol content was .16, twice the legal limit.

Karkosky could not be reached for comment because her telephone number was not listed. Court records were not yet available because she was arrested Saturday night. The Madison County Sheriff’s Department says the children were between the ages of 3 and 12.

Karkosky told officers she and the children were on their way home from swimming.

She was released from Madison County Jail on Sunday after posting $5,000 bond.
