A Wisconsin couple thought they had come up with a clever way of avoiding DUI charges after they got too drunk to drive: make their 9-year-old daughter drive. Fortunately for everyone’s safety, police were able to intervene before anyone got seriously hurt, and now the couple are facing a variety of felony charges.
As KMSP (Minneapolis) reports, Jason Roth and Amanda Eggert decided they were too drunk to drive one night earlier this month.
The Polk County couple apparently thought, “no problem,” and figured Eggert’s daughter, although she is only 9-years-old, would make the perfect designated driver. Police say that the young girl drove for several miles, weaving in and out of traffic.
Police received a 911 call about a vehicle driving erratically on rural roads in the area, and Deputy Jeff Hahn responded. By the time Hahn caught up to the couple’s truck, it had pulled up to a boat launch area along the nearby Apple River.
Hahn was also alarmed to see the couple’s 11-month-old baby in the truck, strapped into a car seat.
