Mud-stuck dad arrested for drunk driving and neglect

A father was arrested early on Saturday morning in Pike County for driving while intoxicated and neglect of his two-year-old son that was in the truck with him.

At around 12:05 a.m., Indiana State Police responded to help 32-year-old Daniel Dunn of Charlestown, Indiana, free his pickup truck that had been stuck in mud by the roadside for nearly two hours.



Troopers say when they arrived, Dunn was still attempting to get his pickup truck free from the mud. Authorities say they detected an odour of alcohol on Dunn's breath. He also had blood shot eyes, slurred speech and his balance was unstable.

Dunn's two-year-old son and two other adult passengers were also in the pickup truck. Troopers say Dunn had a blood alcohol content of .15%.  Dunn was arrested and taken to the Pike County Jail where he's being held without bond.  Dunn's two-year-old son was later released to his grandfather.

At present major cause of accidents is due to rash driving, driving with consuming alcohol. Due to the negligence of drivers, innocent people become the victims of accidents. If the drivers would follow up the rules and regulations of traffic then most of the accidents would not happen. Now most of the newspaper says about the accidents. Even then the people are not aware of the accidents.
Here so well the blogger explained about the negligence of a father. The father was arrested, as he was driving by consuming alcohol. He did not even bother about 2 years old son.
I really wonder how people can be soo irresponsible towards their children. The pickup was stuck for about 2 hours. Here reading this blog I got useful information. We always should be aware when we drive. You should make sure that your drive does not drink.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful post. This is going to be helpful for many number of people. I am working as a writer at cheap essay writing service for past few years. I always choose to write something which is useful for the people. This post helped me to get an idea for my writings. You have well explained the topic in a short way. I am expecting more useful posts from you. This post is very real which you here notified the readers about affects after driving by consuming alcohol. The kids learn from their parents. I wonder is this the parents teach their kids? By reading this post I really felt bad on the 2 year old baby who was innocent. It is very inspiring real world example. This shows the effort the blogger had put in writing this blog. Always be inspired by the words you read and bring them to your life.
