Two women have been arrested after making a 10-year-old boy drive them home because they were drunk.
Police in Louisiana responded to a call about car being driven recklessly on Interstate 10 – and when they pulled it over discovered it was being driven by a boy.
The child’s grandmother and another woman were in the car along with a 15-year-old child.
Police said they told officers that they made the boy drive because they were intoxicated.
Brenda Byrd, 54, and Sheila Joiner, 48, were arrested for “contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile and allowing an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle”.
The young driver and a 15-year-old passenger were later released to family members.
