Can You Guess What This Person Was Charged With?

You might have guessed that Sanjuana Mercado-Mendez, 52, was a drunk driver, but there is a twist after New Mexico police pulled over her weaving blue 1994 Oldsmobile.

When Santa Fe Deputy Clay Cullison the car, it was being driven by Mercado-Mendez’ 13-year-old grandson, who was reportedly intoxicated. Cullison also found two open beer cans in the car.

After she stumbled out of the car, Cullison was reportedly told that she had the 13-year-old drive to avoid getting into trouble.

She is now charged with suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, child abuse and possession of an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle.
