(WDLB) -Marshfield police have identified the teacher's aide accused of driving drunk and providing alcohol for two 16-year-old students.Police Chief Gary Jepsen is requesting criminal charges of third-offense O-W-I and child neglect against 52-year-old Fran Daniel. She's accused of taking the students to McDonald's in Marshfield last Friday morning while she was was intoxicated, and providing them with alcohol along the way. This all came to light after Daniel collided with another vehicle in the drive-thru lane.
Chief Jepsen said, "Miss Daniel was very intoxicated and the 16-year-old students that had been taken out of school by her had also been consuming intoxicating beverages. They had been provided to them by Miss Daniel."
Jepsen says one of the students chose to drive Daniels' car back to Marshfield High School, where police were waiting. Jepsen says the two students will be facing municipal citations for underage alcohol consumption, but nothing more.
Meanwhile, the Marshfield School District is conducting its own internal investigation while students and staff members are off this week for spring break.
