The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office reports they pulled an intoxicated driver over Sunday evening who had children in the vehicle.
Officers responded to a location in Merrillan where a witness say that kids were inside a parked vehicle screaming while their parent was in a nearby bar. By the time officers arrived on scene, the vehicle was gone, though it was later pulled over on Highway 12 with reports noting it was being driven in an erratic manner. The driver — who had two children in the backseat — reportedly admitted to having been drinking. They were arrested on an OWI charge.
