A drunk man tried to avoid getting arrested by having his 11-year-old nephew drive his car.

People who witnessed the car being driven erratically had called police, who caught up with it and saw a child in the driver’s seat and a man slumped over in the passenger’s seat. The man was the child’s 29-year-old uncle and was obviously drunk, according to police, with an open beer in his hand. He was also high on methamphetamine. The police said they found what looked like a gun between the passenger seat and the door, but it turned out to be fake, reported CBS Los Angeles.
