In Attleboro, Mass., a male driver was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). That’s not all! During his arrest, he apparently forgot to mention to the tow truck driver that his two small children were in the back seat of his Mercedes-Benz as it was being towed away!

Driving While Intoxicated: Fredly Misere DWI Incident

Fredly Misere, 50, was detained by law enforcement officers early Sunday morning because he appeared to be under the influence. According to several reports, Misere left his two daughters, a 3-month old and a 4-year old, in the back of his motor vehicle which was towed away.

DWI Offense on I-95

His vehicle was left on I-95 South, near Route 123 interchange with his two daughters inside. A tow truck was called to the scene. An employee from Sterry Street Towing found Misere who was fast asleep with a beer bottle on his lap. According to the tow truck driver, he had to knock on the window of the vehicle to get the driver’s attention.

Abandoned Children Discovered by Tow Truck Driver

Law enforcement later arrived at the scene of the incident, but by that time Misere’s vehicle, which was heavily tinted, was already hooked to the tow truck. The tow truck driver took the vehicle to the yard, that’s when the two small children were discovered by the driver. According to the tow truck driver, he heard noises coming from the back seat of the vehicle and that was when he discovered the children. It was not until Misere was in the back of the police car that he told officers he was worried about his girls.

This is not the first time something like this has happened and it won’t be the last. This is what alcohol can do to you. Hence driving with high blood alcohol content (BAC) should be avoided at all costs. The incident fortunately had a good ending and could have ended much worse. I’m just glad that the kids are safe.
