ALBANY, GA (WALB) -  A Westover High School guidance counselor and her husband were indicted by the Grand Jury in an unusual crash. 

 

40-year old Catherine Chandler was indicted for D-U-I, Reckless driving, and two felony counts of serious injury by vehicle.

Investigators say during a Halloween block party on Pendleton Street, Chandler was drunk when she crashed her golf cart into 32-year old Christal Potter.

She needed surgery for leg fractures.

John Chandler was indicted for tampering with evidence.

Prosecutors say he hid the golf cart before police arrived.

Mrs. Chandler is back at work after serving a suspension.
