A father who was too drunk to drive had his 11-year-old son get behind the wheel of his pickup and drive them home, authorities said.
Police stopped the boy late Tuesday after he was seen driving the 1992 Chevy truck the wrong way on a one-way street.
The boy's father, Frank Neff, 35, of Fairbanks, was too drunk to drive and had told the child to drive them home, police said.
Neff pleaded no contest to charges of reckless endangerment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor in connection with the incident. He was ordered to spend 15 days in jail and to take parenting classes. The boy wasn't charged.
