According to an arrest report, 59-year-old James L. Osborne was seen walking into The Electric Cowboy, a bar on Dixie Highway, near Oak Park Drive, early on Saturday morning, shortly before 2:30 a.m. Witnesses say he left a young boy inside his vehicle.
When police arrived, they approached the boy and asked him his age. It was determined that the boy was 17. Police say they met with Osborne and he told them he had consumed two alcoholic beverages.
"The subject stated he didn't see anything wrong with leaving his son in the car while he drank in the night club," police say. "In his words, 'they were bonding.'" The boy was released into the custody of his grandmother. Police say they arrested Osborne and charged him with endangering the welfare of a minor, a misdemeanor.

What do you want to bet the son was his designated driver?
Why is the bar still open at 2:30 AM?
He's 17 FFS! He can do what he likes. If he wanted to get out of the car, or maybe drive it away he could.
And @Barbwire what's wrong with a bar being open at 2:30AM? Or any other time of day for that matter?
Ha, when I was 17 my parents went away to Mexico for a week. I was fine.
