HOUSTON – Police said a pregnant Houston woman drove drunk with her two children in the car early Monday morning.
According to court documents, a tire on a vehicle driven by Sheila Bundrant, 44, blew out while she was driving on Weslayan Street. When a West University Place police officer arrived to help, he noticed she had slurred speech and smelled of alcohol. The officer also noticed that Bundrant’s two 7-year-old girls were in the back seat.
Bundrant, who told the officer she was six months pregnant, admitted to drinking 1 1/2 40 oz. cans of beer, according to the documents. She said that after she drank, her children wanted to go for a ride.
