A charming family tale from upstate NY: according to the Poughkeepsie Journal, police officers were operating a checkpoint in East Fishkill Sunday between midnight and 5 a.m., when they stopped a car after observing marijuana paraphernalia inside. Two 18-year-old boys and two 15-year-old girls were detained, and their parents were called. The 46-year-old mother of one of the girls was observed to be intoxicated upon her arrival, and arrested. Two hours later, the same child’s 45-year-old father drove through the checkpoint and was observed to be intoxicated, and was also arrested. Both parents were charged with DWI's.
