drunk father with kid in backseat

[salsamarc]

A 26-year-old dad is charged with impaired driving after police nabbed him in a Tim Hortons parking lot with his 3-year-old daughter in the backseat.

After slamming into a cab at 9 p.m. Sunday night near Salem and Kingston Rds. in Ajax, the man allegedly took off with the Beck Taxi driver trailing behind him.

"The female cabbie followed right behind him and phoned fellow cabbies and police for help," said Durham Regional police Sgt. Paul McCurbin.

As he pulled into the strip mall at Harwood Ave. and Kingston Rd., it's alleged he fled from his car.

But the tenacious cabbie pointed out the driver to cops arriving on scene.

NO SEATBELT

Police arrested the man and when they checked out his Honda, they allegedly found his 3-year-old daughter sitting in the backseat.

The girl, who was uninjured, wasn't sitting in a safety seat or wearing a seatbelt, police said.

It's alleged he had twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

The man, whose name isn't being released by police, is also charged with failing to remain at the scene, dangerous driving and abandoning a child.

The Courtice man expected to appear in Oshawa court this morning

I dont even have ONE drink and drive with my son in the car........that guys' wife will be giving him all the punishment he deserves I think......

 

[freshbreath]

off topic, but when I see people smoking in their cars with a kid in the back in a child seat, I get pissed off as well
especially in the winter when they have the windows rolled up

That guy deserves to have his nuts stapled to his forehead, spend some time in jail to reflect, then face the wrath of his wife when he gets out. You have to be really low on the smarts scale to pull a stunt like that.

That is disgusting, I wonder if it is possible that he even forgot that he had his 3 year old with him. He sounds dumb enough.

That guy deserves to have his nuts stapled to his forehead.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I agree with the sentiment

This guy is going to get 60-90 days max in jail, probation and his drivers license suspended. Pretty sad ........ but it's reality.

Again, the TRUE punishment will be dealing with his wife/the Mom of the kid........
