A good Samaritan called police.
A Hackettstown woman is facing a criminal charge after police said a 2-year-old boy and a 5-year-old boy were found in a busy road.
Charged is 20-year-old Jamie Stollenmaier.
Officers at 5:39 p.m. Wednesday were called to the 700 block of Washington Street by a good Samaritan who spotted the children running into the street, police said. Sgt. Darren Tynan described the street as residential, but said it's a "highly traveled road."
The children told the citizen they "can't wake their mom," according to police.

Police found Stollenmaier allegedly passed out in a bed holding a 16-ounce can of beer. An officer reported the woman smelled of alcohol.
Stollenmaier is charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. In lieu of bail, she was taken to the Warren County jail.
The Division of Child Protection and Permanency has since taken custody of the children, authorities said.
