MOORHEAD — A Moorhead woman has reached a plea deal over charges that she was drunk while caring for children at her home day care.

Jayne Cote agreed to plead guilty to child neglect or endangerment.

Defense attorney Jade Rosenfeldt said in return, prosecutors will recommend a suspended jail sentence. That means Cote would only serve the time if she violates terms of probation.

Prosecutors said police arrived at her day care on Oct. 2 and found her blood-alcohol level was 0.18 percent. That’s more than twice the legal limit for driving.

Rosenfeldt said her client is looking forward to rebuilding her life and doesn’t plan to go back into child care.

A judge will have to approve the plea agreement.
