A Houston mother that was formerly accused of sexual assault is now charged with drunk driving with her two children in the vehicle is accused of intentionally striking another vehicle after dropping her children off at a north Houston home.
Previously, Sterling pleaded guilty to child endangerment in January 2014 after she left a child unattended near a roadway, according to Harris County court records. In 2017, she pleaded guilty to a family assault charge after she hit, kicked and bit a family member, according to authorities.
The incident occurred June 23 about 8:20 p.m. in the 16700 blocks of Vista Oak Drive, the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 office said in a news release. A deputy was called to a disturbance at the location and saw that a minor accident had happened and several people were standing around the suspect vehicle.
Deputies detained the 30-year old woman who had dropped off her two children, ages 7 and 9, at the home. After the children got out of the vehicle, she allegedly struck another vehicle on purpose. The deputies attempted to perform standardized field sobriety tests, but the woman was unable to perform them due to her intoxication.
She was charged with driving while intoxicated with a child passenger, a felony.
