An Iowa City woman was charged with child endangerment and her second OWI after allegedly being over three times the legal limit to drive.
Arrest reports indicate that 39-year-old Jennifer Gray of Spruce Street was called in as an intoxicated driver as she was traveling southbound on Highway 218 near the 3 mile marker around 5:45pm Wednesday. Police say she was discovered with bloodshot watery eyes, impaired speech, impaired balance, the odor of ingested alcohol, and was visibly intoxicated.
Gray reportedly admitted to drinking and showed measurable impairment on field tests. A Datamaster test yielded a blood-alcohol level of .262 percent, over three times the legal limit.
Gray’s five year old son was riding in the vehicle at the time of the stop.
She was charged with her second OWI and Child Endangerment. If convicted on both counts, Gray could be sentenced to up to four years in prison.
