A woman is in custody after she was pulled over Saturday night on the Kenai Spur Highway for driving impaired with children in the vehicle.
At about 9 p.m., the Alaska Bureau of Highway Patrol responded to a REDDI report of “an intoxicated motorist with children in the car,” according to an online AST dispatch posted Sunday.
The vehicle was stopped near Mile 8 of the Kenai Spur Highway. Further investigation revealed that the driver, Tammy Lynn Brantley, was operating the van “while impaired and under the influence of alcohol,” the dispatch says. Brantley had three young children in the van with her.
She was arrested for DUI and three counts of endangering the welfare of a children, among other charges, and was taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility where she was held without bail, pending arraignment.
