The San Carlos mom who allegedly left her two young sons home unattended while drinking in Redwood City pleaded no contest yesterday to felony child endangerment and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.

In return, Sarah Haderle, 36, was promised no more than eight months in jail and no prison by prosecutors when she is sentenced June 20. Prosecutors also dropped an additional count of child endangerment and charges of battery on a police officer and hit-and-run. Haderle faced up to eight years in prison if convicted of all charges by a jury.

According to prosecutors, Haderle rear-ended a motorist in Redwood City at approximately 2:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15.

When police arrived, Haderle reportedly fled on foot and was found to be intoxicated after being apprehended. Police reported Haderle nearly fell twice during a field sobriety test. She also allegedly struck the responding officer twice and tried to kick him.

The results of Haderle’s blood alcohol content test have yet to be released.

Haderle, according to the District Attorney’s Office, told the officer she needed to get back to her children but couldn’t say their location. The officer contacted San Carlos police to check her residence at which her 3-year-old son was reportedly found naked inside the home with the front door wide open. Her 2-year-old son was also reportedly playing outside in the rain without shoes.

Haderle has no previous criminal convictions in San Mateo County.

She is free from custody on her own recognizance and had a court order prohibiting contact with the children amended to supervised visits.
