PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE): A Providence mother is at Rhode Island Hospital with possible brain bleeding after being charged with a DUI with her four small children in the car, according to police.

Police say the children suffered minor injuries, including bruises and cuts. Two of them were not wearing seatbelts. All four have since been released.
Small bottles of alcohol were found in the car, according to police. An officer told ABC6 that Mitchell was so intoxicated that she did not want her children to be treated.

When Mitchell is released from the hospital, she will be arraigned in court.
