Kennedy Wife Facing DUI Charge

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Mary, filed for divorce on May 12. The next evening, law enforcement responded to a 911 call and arrived at the couple's house where an argument was going on about taking their four kids to a carnival. In the domestic incident report, Robert Kennedy told police that his wife was allegedly intoxicated and acting "irrational" so he decided to take the kids to the carnival to get them away from her. Two days later, Mary Kennedy was arrested for driving under the influence in Bedford, New York.

According to Bedford police, Kennedy was arrested around 9:15 after an officer witnessed Kennedy's 2004 Volvo swerving onto the curb. Her speech was allegedly slurred and her blood alcohol content was above the legal limit of 0.08. Kennedy was then arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated.

Kennedy's court date for the DUI charge is next week in Westchester County.

Domestic situations can cause everything around you to spiral out of control. While drinking and driving is certainly no excuse, most people may be able to understand how a fragile emotional state can lead to mistakes that can have serious ramifications.
