Woman accused of DUI at police station

NEWPORT, Ore. - The Oregon State Police arrest drunken drivers on the road every day. But it's not often when the drivers show up drunk at a state police office.
Troopers charged Ruby Ann Pederson, 42, of Newport with driving under the influence of intoxicants after she came to work to clean the state police office.
A trooper said she showed signs of being intoxicated after driving to the office with her 12-year-old son. A blood-alcohol test showed her level was 0.19 percent — more than twice the legal limit.
She was also charged with recklessly endangering another person.
