Chattanooga mother faces DUI, child neglect charges after driving car off cliff
Deputies said blood tests and wine bottles supported DUI charges after one child suffered serious injuries and the other was unhurt.
- On Oct 12, Hamilton County Sheriff deputies arrested Chase Ryan Klinedinst following a Sept 7 incident where she drove an SUV off a cliff in Chattanooga with two children inside.
- Klinedinst drove to the dead end of Stuart Street and over the cliff, dropping 20 to 25 feet while intoxicated. Authorities found an empty wine bottle and a cold, unopened bottle in the SUV.
- Emergency crews rescued the mother and her two children from the vehicle. One child suffered a fractured forearm and wrist, while the other remained uninjured, according to Police reports.
- At the scene, deputies noted Klinedinst slurred her speech and was combative, with one medic stating, "Stop grabbing me." After medical clearance, she was placed on a psychiatric hold for "paranoia and delusions."
- Facing charges of Driving under the influence, vehicular assault, and two counts of child neglect, Klinedinst remains on a $10,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court on Nov 17.
