Details into two recent D-W-I cases

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls woman was charged with her 4^th D-W-I while there were two children in the back seat.

     Lieutenant Jerry Miller says 36-year-old Nichole Kroger was stopped at 41^st and Cliff around six New Year’s Eve night.  Miller says an officer saw her driving on the sidewalk and stopped her.  Two of her children, ages 8 and 10, were in the backseat          

     Miller says Kroger is also charged with child abuse and endangerment, open container and driving revoked.

     Meanwhile… a Sioux Falls woman is charged with D-W-I  after driving into the doors at Bath, Bed and Beyond on South Louise Avenue New Year's night. 

     Captain Greg Vandekamp says 34-year-old Chandra Lynn Malsam was not injured.  Malsam was driving a 2011 GMC Acadia.  

      Vandekamp says that's the nature of a D-W-I.  In this case it was damage to a building but a night earlier it was failing to stop at a flashing red light and hitting another vehicle.  That incident ended with the death of a Sioux Falls woman.
