Authorities: Woman Goes from Funeral to Bar
HAMILTON, OHIO - A woman accused of driving drunk and causing the death of her 6-year-old son was temporarily freed from jail so she could attend his funeral. But afterward, she went straight from the church to the bar, authorities said.
Erin Howard, who has been accused of involuntary manslaughter, was supposed to have reported back to jail after the services, United Press International reported. She allegedly caused her son's death after smoking marijuana and drinking to celebrate her 26th birthday before driving home June 14.
Now, she's also charged with a third-degree felony count of escape.
