Sometimes parents take responsibility
This guy’s parents didn’t expect the state to punish their son - they took matters into their own hands and gave away his car:
In that episode, a state trooper stopped a sport-utility vehicle about 1:20 a.m. on Interstate 90 in Bellevue after he noticed the vehicle drifting across traffic lanes. When the trooper approached the couple inside, he found they both were naked and trying to stash an empty wine bottle.
King County District Court Judge Linda Jacke ordered 24 months of probation; a 90-day jail term, which was suspended; attendance at a DUI victims’ panel; and fines that totaled $1,718.
His family presented documentation showing that his SUV has been donated to a charity.
And, Jacke was told, the young man’s girlfriend has left him.
“The price he paid at home was far greater than what he paid in court,” said the judge.
