Mom Accused of Driving Drunk With Kids in Car

33-Year-Old Jailed Since Sunday Night

A woman whose blood-alcohol level was found to be twice the legal limit when she was stopped in Mundelein late Sunday remained in jail Tuesday.

She is accused of drunk driving and child endangerment, since her two children, ages 5 and 7, were also in the car.

Heather Coburn, 33, of North Midlothian Road, was arrested after midnight Sunday by Mundelein police following a traffic stop.

Officers received a tip that Coburn might be driving drunk with children in the car, and they began following her, Mundelein Sgt. John Monahan said. After Coburn crossed the center line a few times, she was pulled over, he said.

She told officers she was returning from a grocery store.

When given a Breathalyzer test, Coburn blew a .148. The legal limit is 0.08.

She  was charged with two counts of child endangerment and one count of aggravated DUI. She also faces charges for driving on a revoked license, expired registration, improper lane usage and a child-restraint violation.

She's being held in Lake County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bond.
