A mother in Connecticut was arrested Monday after she was allegedly driving drunk while dropping her child off at school.

Police said 33-year-old Christina Morrissette was charged with DUI-risk of injury to a minor after dropping off her child at Ledyard Middle School.

Officers were responding to a report by staff at the school that Morrissette was "behaving erratically" while she was in the parent drop-off section and appeared to be intoxicated.

Officials say Morrissette failed field sobriety tests and was transported to the Ledyard Police Department for processing.
