A man who was stopped after crashing into his neighbor’s townhouse is facing serious charges after police found three children in the vehicle with him – and he appeared to be drunk.
According to Virginia Beach police, the man, Alvin Taylor, put his car into reverse and didn’t stop until he hit is neighbor’s townhouse. When police were called to the scene of the accident they discovered that Taylor had kids in the car with him and seemed to be under the influence of alcohol.
Two children were wearing seatbelts in the back seat of his car, and another child was on Taylor’s lap. Police also believed that Taylor was driving drunk. He was taken to Virginia Beach jail and is now facing charges of driving under the influence (DUI) and child endangerment.
There were no injuries in the case and the incident is being investigated by the Virginia Beach police.
Drivers caught driving drunk with a minor (person under age 17) in the vehicle can face aggravated charges and end up with a mandatory 5 days in jail and additional penalties depending on the situation. In this case Taylor faces a Class 6 felony charge because the children were not injured in the accident. If they had been injured, he would be looking at a very serious Class 4 charge.
