LAKEPORT, Calif. – A Lakeport woman was arrested for driving under the influence and child endangerment on Tuesday after she crashed her vehicle with her infant daughter in the car.

Sacha Shea Cooper, 30, was arrested for felony driving under the influence, driving with an expired driver license and felony child endangerment, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds.

At approximately 6:20 p.m. Tuesday Cooper was driving her 2004 Chevrolet Impala northbound on Highway 29 north of Highway 281/Soda Bay Road when she allowed her vehicle to drift across the center line, according to Reynolds.

As a result of going over the center line, Cooper's vehicle struck the left rear of a 2004 Saturn which was heading southbound on Highway 29, driven by 31-year-old Laura Ewing of Lakeport, Reynolds said.

Reynolds said the collision forced Ewing to go off the west roadway edge and into a ditch.

Ewing sustained minor injuries in the collision but was not transported to the hospital, Reynolds said.

Cooper also went off the west roadway edge onto a dirt shoulder, according to Reynolds.

Reynolds said Officer Dan Frederick and Officer Efrain Cortez responded to the scene.

He said Frederick contacted Cooper who was outside her vehicle with her 1-month-old daughter in her arms.

Cooper was subsequently arrested, Reynolds said.

Cooper’s daughter was not injured in the collision and was in a properly fitted, properly installed car seat. Reynolds said the infant was released to her father.

In addition to the charges of DUI, driving with an expired driver license and felony child endangerment, Cooper's jail booking sheet also recorded a misdemeanor bench warrant.

Cooper's bail was posted at $25,000. Jail records indicated she later posted bail and was released.
