OLATHE, Kan. (AP) A 42-year-old Olathe woman has been charged with driving while intoxicated after police said she crashed her car in her daughter’s school parking lot.
Kelly R. Dixon of Olathe was planning to pick up her daughter from a Kansas City school before she reportedly crashed into the school’s stop sign swing arm Wednesday. Jackson County prosecutors on Thursday charged her with DWI as an aggravated offender. Online court records don’t list a lawyer for Dixon.
The Kansas City Star reports that in 1996, Dixon’s 23-month-old son was killed when she crashed into a tree. Dixon’s blood alcohol level after that wreck was more than twice the legal limit. Dixon was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and given probation. If you are in a situation where you are arrested for DWI, even if you are innocent or not then it might be a good idea to get yourself a lawyer.

Another drunken-driving arrest in 1999 put Dixon behind bars until 2001.
