Authorities say a 32-year-old man got drunk on Christmas Eve, then put his 9-year-old son in the driver's seat of their pickup to work the gas and brakes while he steered.
Jonathan David Olson of Hamlin Township was arraigned on Wednesday in Eaton County District Court on child abuse, drunken driving-third offence and other charges. A judge set bond at $50,000 and scheduled a January 9 preliminary examination.
Authorities say an off-duty police officer saw the pickup driving erratically on Monday night. They say a sheriff's deputy stopped the truck in Eaton Rapids Township, and the boy said they had driven about seven miles.
