Every year, hundreds of suspected drunk drivers are pulled over on Oklahoma roads with children in tow. Driving while intoxicated or impaired with a child in the car will not only result in a DUI charge, but could also lead to the elevated charge of child endangerment as well.
In an effort to legally stand up for those who are not yet able to stand up for themselves, the state made the act of driving while under the influence with a child in the car a felony in 2009. Those convicted could face up to four years in prison, and could also anticipate paying about $5,000 in fines. This punishment, however, is not limited to those behind the wheel. Parents who knowingly let their child ride with an intoxicated driver can also expect to feel these major legal repercussions.
