Boy, 12, faces drunken driving charge after crash


(AP) HARTMAN, Ark. - An Arkansas preteen faces a drunken driving charge after he and a friend drank his parents’ beer, "got liquored up" and crashed his stepfather’s pickup truck, the Johnson County sheriff said.

Sheriff Jimmy Dorney said the 12-year-old boy and his 10-year-old friend drove off in the truck May 4 to find a girl they met at a rodeo. The boys made it about 10 miles before the 12-year-old lost control of the truck.

Dorney said the truck hit and jumped over a guardrail, sending it careening 50 feet down a steep hill into a forest.

Clark James, 46, who lives down the road from the crash site, said he answered the boys’ banging at his front door with shotgun in hand about 2:30 a.m.

"I opened the door and the first thing (the 12-year-old) said to me was, ’I’m drunk and I had a wreck,’" James said. "I looked at him and I thought ’You’re kind of young

In the spirit of Will E. Worm (and others, I'm sure), I'm gonna say:

Try him as an adult, throw him in prison for 4 or 5 years, and let the big boys show him what criminal life is all about!

He's gonna get the shock of his life when he bends over for that soap.

"I opened the door and the first thing (the 12-year-old) said to me was, ’I’m drunk and I had a wreck,’" James said. "I looked at him and I thought ’You’re kind of young to be out drinking. And you sure shouldn’t be driving.’"

Nice priorities. "Kind of young to be drinking". "...Sure shouldn't be driving". Call me silly, but I think that kid shouldn't have been doing EITHER, especially at his age.

True story:

When I was 15 I lived in Mexico. One night my buddies and I went to a party at some girl's house. Needless to say, the 5 of us were extremely drunk by the end of said party. When we left, I was voted to be the soberest person in the group (I had drank almost a gallon beer on an empty stomach), so I was designated as the driver. On the way home we were pulled over by a cop. We were able to gather among the 5 of us the equivalent of $100 dollars, and we gave it to the cop. He looked at the cash, looked at us, and then just said, "Drive home carefully."

The last time they did that, he got all the way to the White House.

I like that Clark James. I can just picture it:

"Make sure you put in that part about me answerin' the door with a shotgun."

"Yeah that's right. I got's me a shotgun, so don't come nosin' around here at night, unless you're plenty young and plenty drunk."

Hmm. Kinda similar to the ground rules at the ol' Neverland ranch!

Nah, not really. That's way past bedtime at Neverland. Remember that bedtime there is when the big hand is on the little hand.
