WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (WPIX) -
Police say the woman who drove drunk and killed seven people and herself on the Taconic State Parkway was a regular pot smoker.
Diane Schuler's husband told police his wife "smoked marijuana once in a while to relieve the stress of work and the kids," published reports say. That's contrary to initial claims his wife was clean of alcohol and drugs.
Her sister-in-law also told police she "didn't believe in medicine and used marijuana to relax,'' usually smoking after her children went to bed.
This all came out Friday at a meeting between police and representatives from the district attorney's office.
Cops say Schuler was drunk and high when she drove the wrong way on the highway in July, killing her daughter and three of her nieces. Three men in the car she hit were also killed.
