Drunk dad flipped golf cart filled with kids

Fairfield, California police arrested a Petaluma man on felony drunken-driving charges after he allegedly gave his three children a ride in a golf cart and flipped the cart, authorities said Monday. The accident happened at 4:20 p.m. Sunday on Siebe Drive in Green Valley, an upscale golfing community near Fairfield, California.

Authorities said 50-year-old Loren Dooley crashed the cart while giving a ride to his three sons, ages 10, 7 and 5. The boys were treated for minor injuries.

Dooley was booked on suspicion of felony driving under the influence, Williford said. Dooley's blood-alcohol level was measured at less than 0.08 percent, which usually would not result in felony charges. But Williford said Dooley's cart was designed to carry only two people. Dooley has been released on bail. Article here.
