Nebraska children text police on suspected drunk-driving dad
Two Nebraska children texted 911 to stop their father from allegedly drunk driving after being scared for their lives during a road trip swerving down the road.
Mackenzie and Ethan Behrens, 14 and 12, were riding along in Kearney toward a vacation in Colorado when they began sending fearful messages to police.
The kids also asked their dad, 44-year-old Jason Behrens, to pull over at a Burger King so officers could catch up to their rental car, according to NTV.
They said that the most recent episode riding along with the impaired driver was not their first, but that near-scrapes with other cars led them to reach out for help.
The suspect told his children that he was not drunk, though blew nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08% during a breathalyzer test after his arrest.
Though the scare happened before Easter, the children recently opened up about their experience and thanked police officers for saving their lives.
“It was hard, but he had pushed us to the point that we had to,” Ethan said.
Texting 911 began last year in Buffalo County, Neb., and select municipalities and counties across the country have begun recently begun rolling it out as an option for reaching help for emergencies.
