TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a 12-year-old boy crashed a
sport utility vehicle after his father asked him to drive.
Tampa police say 32-year-old Adrian Kegler was arrested Saturday
night after the crash. Officers say Kegler smelled like alcohol.
The damage to the SUV and another vehicle was reported as minor.
The occupant of the other vehicle was eight months pregnant and
went to a hospital for precautionary reasons.
Kegler was charged with culpable negligence with actual injury,
permitting an unauthorized person to drive and child neglect. He
was later released from jail on $8,250 bail.

That kid was smart enough to know that he shouldn’t let the drunk guy drive.

From the looks of the mug shot, he thinks the whole thing is pretty funny. Luckily no one was injured, although it could have been MUCH worse. Some people have no business having children!
