An allegedly intoxicated woman was arrested Monday evening in Oakland for Child Endangerment without injury. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says 32-year old Amber Lorraine Olsen, of Oakland, was arrested at around 6:20-p.m. following an incident earlier that afternoon.

Officials say a DHS worker went to Olsen’s home to pick up a child. Olsen was allegedly intoxicated and uncooperative. When a Deputy arrived, witnesses said the woman had deliberately given her one-year old child a drink of Vodka out of a green water bottle. She admitted to giving the child the bottle, but that the lid was closed first. Olsen’s Preliminary Breath Test showed an intoxication level of .348%, or more than four times the legal limit.

The child was taken to Mercy Hospital by their grandpa/guardian, to be checked out. Olsen complained of stomach pain and was transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital by Oakland Rescue. She was then placed under arrest for Child Endangerment.
