12-Year-Old Charged With Drunk Driving

Excerpts of a story that's a shocker the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Barely old enough for junior high, a 12-year-old rural Minnesota girl may be charged with DWI, according to authorities.
She was at the wheel of a car that missed a curve Saturday in Winona County, according to Sheriff David Brand.
A deputy got a surprise when he asked the girl, whom he suspected of drinking, for her license. She said she didn't have one because she was only 12. The situation was even more remarkable considering that a licensed driver, 19-year-old Benjamin R. Repinski of Winona, was a passenger.
Brand said Repinski met the girl at a party and asked her to drive him home.
