(Mankato, MN) – A Mankato woman was allegedly four times the legal limit when she drove the wrong way down Highway 14 in Mankato.

Llewellyn Steen admitted she had taken two shots of vodka before leaving home, according to the complaint.

Llewellyn Steen has been charged with two counts of gross misdemeanor DWI, and is summoned to appear in Blue Earth County court on June 11.
