Here's a little tale to kick off the holidays: Police say a Cincinnati grandma was driving drunk -- with her five-year-old granddaughter in the car.
Not only that, police say 46-year-old Maria D. Krull wasn't just drunk -- she was really, really, really wasted. She had a blood-alcohol level of .415 percent, more than five times the legal limit of .08 percent, according to officials.
"That's crazy high," said Blue Ash Police Officer Mark Ziegler told Cincinnati.com.
"That's probably one of the top five tests that I've seen in my 23-year career."
Krull was arrested on drunken driving charges two months ago and was driving on a suspended license, according to the Web site. She has been charged with driving drunk and also faces charges of child endangering and driving with a high blood alcohol level.
