Girl, 8, Helps Drive Drunken Pennsylvania Man Around Town

A drunken Pennsylvania man had an 8-year-old girl drive him around until someone saw the car moving recklessly and called 911, police said.

The bizarre incident involving 24-year-old Kevin Cook happened Sept. 3 in Darlington Township, Beaver County, WPXI-TV reported.

That's where township police say in a criminal complaint that someone reported seeing the child driving and almost wrecking the car twice about 7:30 p.m.

The girl stopped the car when another motorist became upset and got out of his car, yelling at her and Cook, according to police. That's when the girl told police Cook made her switch seats so he could get behind the wheel before police arrived.

Cook was so drunk he couldn't finish a field sobriety test, police said.

The New Castle man doesn't have an attorney listed in court records.
