Father and Son Charged with DWI Just Hours Apart

A Nebraska man was charged with DWI just hours after he bailed his 19-year-old son out of jail for the same offense.

Trevor Brown, the son, was arrested on DWI charges after police pulled him over for having a broken tail light. Brown was arrested shortly thereafter on suspicion of driving while intoxicated when police found him to be in possession of alcohol, which is illegal for people under the age of 21.  The police cited Brown for possession, which will be charged in connection with his DWI arrest.

Anthony Brown, Trevor's father, came to get his son out of jail a few hours later. According to police reports, a state trooper suspected that Anthony may have been drinking, and warned him not to drive home. The trooper saw Brown leave with Trevor, followed him, and then arrested him for driving while intoxicated.

DWI is a misdemeanor offense, punishable by up to six months in jail, fines, probation, community service, license suspension, and mandatory alcohol-awareness classes.
