ALOHA, OR (KPTV) -
An Aloha woman accused of driving drunk with her four children in the car is pleading not guilty.
Claudia Corona entered that plea in court on Wednesday. She was arraigned on charges of DUII and reckless endangering.
Washington County deputies arrested her on July 29 on Highway 26 near Cornell Road.
A 911 caller reported her car swerving from lane to lane at 4:10 a.m. The witness also told dispatchers the car was speeding up, slowing down and even stopped in the middle of the freeway.
A Hillsboro officer stopped Corona's car a few miles later.
Her four kids, between the ages of 1 and 9 years old, were found in the car.
Deputies said the woman claimed she was lost. She then failed a sobriety test and registered a blood alcohol level of .15, nearly twice the legal limit, according to investigators.
A diversion hearing is now scheduled for Aug. 24.
