A North Valley woman, who was arrested after a May 21 accident at East Valley Road and Johnson Lane, is scheduled to be arraigned in Douglas County District Court this morning.

Tamara Kim Smith, 44, was arrested on three counts of felony child endangerment, after allegedly running a stop sign and causing the accident. Inside her vehicle were three children, age 9-11. A preliminary breath test indicated Smith's blood-alcohol content at .113, over the legal limit of .08 for driving.

Records indicate Smith was convicted of driving under the influence in April 2006.
