READING, MA — A woman was charged with driving drunk with two children in the car, according to police.

Megan Najarian, 49, of Wilmington, was charged with operating under the influence (second offense), marked lanes violation, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, speeding, and two counts of child endangerment while operating under the influence.

Police on patrol at 8:54 p.m. Thursday spotted a white Honda Odyssey on Salem Street in Reading attempting to make a turn too fast.

Officers activated emergency lights and after several attempts pulled the vehicle over on Lowell Street.
