Police: Chaska woman charged with child endangerment after allegedly driving while high
Maria Jose Salcedo, 35, of 1 Riverbend Place #119, Chaska, has been charged with driving while intoxicated and two counts of child endangerment relating to a June 29 event near I-35 mile post 47 in Steele County. The Minnesota State Patrol alleges two separate callers reported a white Jeep heading southbound on I-35 was speeding, crossing over lane lines and almost crashing into other vehicles. Police said troopers saw the vehicle drive by with an inoperable driver’s side headlight and an active rear wiper despite it not raining. While troopers followed the Jeep, it reportedly crossed the fog line and drove on the shoulder of the interstate, and followed the vehicle in front of it “dangerously close.” Police said Salcedo jerked onto the shoulder and slammed on its breaks when the troopers initiated a traffic stop, and the driver’s side tires were reportedly still partially on the fog line. Salcedo’s children, ages 12 and 6, were in the backseat of the Jeep, police said. Asked if she had been drinking, Salcedo reportedly told officers she drank Remy Martin, an alcoholic champagne. Police said Salcedo had an open and partially consumed cannabis edible chocolate bar, a clear plastic bag with marijuana
