SONORA – An accident occurred on August 9 close to 10:00 p.m.  The driver, 39-year-old Rachell Lynn Malone, was on the 300 block of Snell Street.

Officers with the Sonora Police Department found a 2008 Kia Sedona on the front lawn of a residence, with a damaged 199 Chevrolet Silverado and a trailer both parked on the curbside.

Officers noticed the smell of alcohol emanating from Malone, who was “arrested for felony child endangerment, DUI, and driving on a suspended license.”

Malone’s blood-alcohol content was over three times the legal limit of 0.08%. There were also two children in the vehicle that she drove. On top of that, she drove with a suspended license, one suspended for “prior alcohol-related driving offenses.”
