Boys up for drunk driving

HARTMAN - An Arkansas preteen faces a drunken driving charge after he and a friend drank his parents' beer, "got liquored up" and crashed his stepfather's pickup truck, the Johnson County sheriff said.

Sheriff Jimmy Dorney said the 12-year-old boy and his 10-year-old friend drove off in the truck May 4 to find a girl they met at a rodeo.

The boys made it about 16 km before the 12-year-old lost control of the truck.

Dorney said the truck hit and jumped over a guardrail, sending it careening 16 metres down a steep hill into a forest.

Neither boy was seriously injured in the crash.
