LONGVIEW, Texas, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Police in Longview, Texas, have arrested a woman who allegedly had her 12-year-old daughter drive her to a bar.

Investigators said the 12-year-old was stopped for a traffic violation while she was pulling a blue minivan into her family's driveway Wednesday and the girl told the officer she had just returned from dropping off her mother, Jennifer Rosenburg, 35, at Leon's Steak House, the Longview News-Journal reported Friday.

Rosenburg, whose birthday was Wednesday, admitted to police that her daughter had driven her to the bar, officers said. She was arrested on child endangerment charges and jailed in lieu of $2,500 bond.
