Heck, he only missed Sandusky, which isn't that hard to find, by 20 odd miles.
VERMILION, Ohio A 15-year-old boy drove his drunken parents and 12-year-old sister 115 miles from Columbus to Vermilion, where they were pulled over for speeding Saturday morning, the state patrol says.
VERMILION, Ohio A 15-year-old boy drove his drunken parents and 12-year-old sister 115 miles from Columbus to Vermilion, where they were pulled over for speeding Saturday morning, the state patrol says.
The boy told a state trooper he was taking the family to Cedar Point, but they were lost and he had been driving all night.
The boy's parents, Timothy W. McCoy, 54, and Michelle Kirk, 45, both of Reynoldsburg, were charged with child endangerment. Kirk also was charged with wrongful entrustment of a vehicle, according to a news release from the State Highway Patrol. They are due in court Tuesday.
Children Services in Columbus is also reviewing the matter.
A state trooper stopped a 2000 Dodge Caravan that was going 83 mph in a 70 mph zone on State Route 2 near Vermilion at 8:13 a.m. Saturday.
When the trooper asked for the driver's information, the boy said he was only 15 and he didn't have a driver's license or permit, the release says.
McCoy was in the front passenger's seat, and Kirk and the boy's sister were in the backseat.
Kirk's blood alcohol content was .265 percent, more than three times the .08 percent legal threshold to drive in Ohio. McCoy's BAC was .184 percent, the state patrol said.
The family was taken to the Sandusky Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and troopers and dispatchers bought food for the children.
Their grandmother picked up the children, and Kirk.
McCoy remains in the Erie County Jail.

In the end, it's probably going to be cheaper and better than a DUI, or in OH10, an OWI, isn't it?
I beat the cops, they didn't beat me.

When Cy was a young lad, they were always listed OMVI, only place I've ever seen it like that. Might have been like that other places, tu.
