On Oct. 23, police in Gillette, Wyoming, were called to a home about a fight between a man and woman.

When they arrived, the man had already left in his pickup truck, the Gillette News Record reported. He was pulled over and emerged from the truck with his two sons, 15 and 4.

Sheriff's Lt. Paul Pownall said that the 39-year-old admitted he'd been drinking but said his 4-year-old had been sitting on his lap and doing the actual driving.

The suspect, who was already on unsupervised probation, was charged with his second DUI. [Gillette News Record, 10/25/2021]
