Mother pleads guilty to DWI with child in car

AUBURN -- A Port Byron mother has admitted driving drunk while her 11-year-old daughter was in the car.

The guilty plea in Cayuga County court Thursday of Tricia Nelson, 35, of 10924 Eldridge Road, comes less than a week after manslaughter and drunk driving charges were filed against Jerry L. Lamphere, 31, of 59 West St., Auburn, in the death of his 4-year-old daughter, Brooke, from a car accident Friday, July 21.

Nelson pleaded guilty to the felony crime of driving while intoxicated and to the misdemeanor crime of endangering the welfare of a child.
