Mary Richardson Kennedy has been formally charged with driving while intoxicated in New York. The wife of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was stopped around 9:00 pm on May 15 when a police officer directing traffic at a school carnival saw her drive onto a curb with her Volvo. When the officer investigated, Kennedy exhibited signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and an odor of alcohol. Kennedy said that she was to pick up people at the carnival.
Kennedy reportedly failed several field sobriety tests and she was taken to a police station for booking on the offense of DWI in New York. A breath test at the station revealed a BAC of .11%.
Mrs. Kennedy was released on personal recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court May 29.
