12-Year Old Gets Arkansas DWI

Young boy wrecks stepfather’s truck while driving drunk in Johnson County Arkansas.

A 12-year old boy, and his 10-year old friend, drank his parent’s beer to get ‘liquored up’. The two then drove off in a truck owned by the older boy’s stepfather to meet a girl they met at a rodeo. The two boys managed to travel 10 miles before the 12-year hit and jumped a guardrail and the vehicle careened 50 feet down a steep hill into trees.

A nearby resident answered banging on his front door around 2:30 in the morning to find the two boys. The older of the two exclaimed that he was drunk and had a wreck.

Neither boy was seriously injured though their troubles are just beginning. The Johnson County prosecutor said the 12-year old will be charged with driving while intoxicated in Arkansas and several other misdemeanors. The charges will be filed in district and juvenile court. The two more than likely will be grounded for some time.

If you have been arrested for a DWI in Arkansas, you will need to hire an experienced DWI lawyer in Arkansas for legal representation and help.
