(Enid, OK) Erica League of League Mobile Veterinarian Services, will make a court appearance Monday and will face seven felony charges following a car accident in late December.

League is facing two counts of child neglect, two counts of child endangerment by driving under the influence, two counts of possession of controlled dangerous substance, and one count of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs, according to court documents.

On Dec. 28, 2020, Enid Police Department officers were dispatched to 2600 N. Van Buren and officers found an abandoned red Ford Mustang with multiple damaged car pieces and debris throughout a four-block radius in the road divider. The car was running but unable to move due to damage, according to the EPD affidavit.

A second 9-1-1 caller reported that a woman, later identified as League, and two undressed children were in the parking lot of Bank of Oklahoma with temperatures below freezing, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit states both children were “cold to the touch and had red skin from being exposed to the near-freezing temperature” with one of the children, 10-years-old, only had on shorts and socks and the other child, 2-years-old, was only wearing a diaper.

League told officers that they were being chased by snakes inside of her residence on West Phillips and she put the children into the car without proper clothing, with the reasoning leading to the car wreck.

According to the EPD affidavit, League was showing signs of tardive dyskinesia, which is a side effect of antipsychotic medications and causes uncontrollable stiff & jerky movements. Officers reported that League was uncontrollably shaking, displayed irrational behavior, made erratic statements, was unable to complete sentences or thoughts and hallucinating.

Her condition prevented her from correctly doing a standardized field sobriety test, the affidavit states. Nurses had difficulty drawing blood because League’s veins were “hard,” according to the affidavit. It took five people to eventually get blood drawn.

Officer Randall Peters discovered three $1 bills, a used and bent syringe and a large vial of Dolorex, a pain reliever for horses, in his car’s floorboard where League had sat down without permission, according to the affidavit.

League is scheduled for a bond appearance Monday with a bond that was set at $15,000.

League still has her veterinary license, according to Oklahoma Veterinary Board.
