TwitterBLAIR, Neb. (AP) — A 37-year-old Walthill woman has been accused of putting her 14-year-old behind the wheel because she was too drunk to drive.
Victoria Valentino was arrested Saturday after Washington County Sheriff’s deputies stopped a vehicle on U.S. Highway 75 near Blair because of erratic driving.
Deputies found Valentino’s 14-year-old son in the driver’s seat and two other minors — ages 14 and 17 — in the car. She was arrested and has been charged with three counts of child neglect and one count of allowing a minor to drive.
The sheriff’s department says the children in the vehicle were turned over to an uncle in Tekamah.
Valentino was still being held in the Washington County jail early Wednesday morning on $1,000 bond.
