(DES MOINES, Iowa) A Johnston mother, accused of leaving her four kids home alone while she went to Germany last fall, has been offered a plea-deal. Eric Macke is charged with four counts of child endangerment and one count of making a firearm available to a person under 21.
The Polk County Attorney's Office is offering to drop the firearm charge, if Macke pleads guilty to child endangerment. Macke would then qualify for a deferred judgement. Her hearing is to be February 23rd.
