A suspected drunken driver faces felony and other charges stemming from an early morning crash Monday that badly injured a young child in Butler, city police said.

John Petrarlulo, 6, of Butler was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital with serious head and stomach injuries, according to police and court documents.

Tracey A. Neibauer, 32, of New Castle was tending to John and the boy’s 4-year-old brother for a friend just after midnight when she lost control of her car and slammed head-on into a utility pole at Center and Boyd avenues, police said.

Officers got there and found the wrecked car. Neibauer, who was out of the vehicle and seated on the ground, admitted she had been drinking rum, documents said.

Police saw both children in the back seat. A Butler Ambulance Service paramedic was treating the older boy’s injured head.

The younger boy apparently was not hurt.

John was taken to Butler Memorial. He was later taken to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. His condition was not immediately known.

Police believe John was not wearing a seat belt. The 4-year-old was in a child safety seat.

Neibauer’s breath test showed she had a blood-alcohol level of 0.193 percent, or more than twice the state’s legal limit for alcohol, documents said.

Neibauer was arraigned on a charge of aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence, a felony.

Additionally, she is charged with DUI, child endangerment, careless driving and not properly restraining a child in a vehicle.

She is in the Butler County Prison on $50,000 bail.
