A man in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, was arrested for allegedly letting his 8-year-old nephew steer a car, Saturday.
Clarence W. Hairston, 58, was sitting in a driver's seat holding a can of beer when his vehicle bumped into a parked car.
"The vehicle had stopped in the middle of the road and then was accelerating and braking. When it turned the corner onto Littlecroft, it struck a parked car," a police officer told the Delco Times.
Much more shocking was that the officer found a 8-year-old boy on his lap.
"There was an 8-year-old boy on his lap steering the vehicle and another boy, a 9-year-old, in the back seat jumping around," the officer said. "When the car finally stopped, the little boys got out and the driver gets out with the can of beer in his hand."
Hairston faces multiple charges including driving under the influence, endangering the welfare of a child.
He is being held on $15,000 bail, and will appear in court on Aug. 28.
