Slidell Police say a five-year-old boy was run over and killed in the driveway of his home Tuesday morning, and his grandmother is charged with vehicular homicide.
Police booked 55-year-old Kristen Anders after the incident in the 300 block of Spartan Loop.
"It was determined that Ms. Anders was under the influence of alcohol and central nervous system suppressants," said Slidell Police Chief Daniel Seuzeneau.
"This is a very tragic situation for this family," said Seuzeneau. "Not only did they lose their precious five-year-old child, they're also having to deal with the fact that the grandmother is now under arrest for this incident."
