And this is why we have Leandra's Law. A Westchester mom has been charged with four counts of DWI after crashing into a tree in Newburgh last night. Police said she had a blood alcohol content three times the legal limit, and had four children, ages four, five, six and 18-months, in the back seat. The woman, Michelle Reyes, is being held on $25,000 bond. The children, all thankfully safe after the accident, are with their grandparents. Last month, a Staten Island man was busted for driving with a blood alcohol content of .14 with his 3- and 7-year-old kids in the car. He faces up to four years in prison.
