Depends on the circumstances. Was she a habitual bad driver? Did she cause an accident? Did she endanger others, or her kids? Did she ignore subpoenas or other court orders? I don't know the specifics. Then read the case, or at least a reliable report of it. Brief answers to your questions. No. No. Arguably. No. The arguably is that simply by driving with her children not seat belted in, she was endangering them. She wasn't driving badly, she wasn't driving dangerously, she wasn't drunk. She simply didn't have the seat belts in her car or van fastened. They called that child endangerment and arrested and handcuffed booked her for it. Our local sheriff suspects that the real reason she was arrested was DWA. DWA doesn't show up on any statute book, but every cop knows the offense. Oh -- what is DWA you ask? Driving with attitude. Mouthing back, not anything bad enough to constitute interference or non-cooperation, but enough to annoy a cop, which is generally a bad thing to do to a guy who carries a gun and handcuffs.
