(JASPER) - 45-year-old Melissa Dolen of Picadilly Circle was arrested after officers were called to Jasper Middle School Monday.
Jasper police received a call from a concerned citizen at 5:30 p.m. reporting there was a woman staggering as she walked from her vehicle to the entrance of the school.
When officers arrived they found a male juvenile locked in the vehicle Dolen arrived in with the windows rolled up.
An officer located Dolen in the school and determined she was highly intoxicated -- she was later found to have a blood alcohol content of .385 percent.
