Family Ties

According to The Chicago Tribune, Kelli Thompson, of Crown Point, Ind., was arrested for alleged DUI offense after she was pulled over.  The arresting officer found Thompson’s one-year-old son in her minivan and called relatives to come pick up the child.

When three relatives arrived to pick up the child, the police found that they too had all been drinking.  Robert Dereamer, the child’s father, was the first to arrive on the scene.

Once police discovered that he had been drinking, they charged him with DUI and driving on a suspended license.  He was taken to the same jail as his wife, who is also being charged with endangering the life of a child while driving intoxicated.

The grandparents came to pick up the child next, but both of them had also been drinking.  The grandmother, who was the driver, was not over the legal limit.  The police escorted the couple home.
