Dad sends 9-year-old on beer run
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
On the eve of Thanksgiving, a father and son tried to start anew family
tradition.
Joshua Fagan was arrested for endangering a minor and has been charged
with child abuse after having his 9-year-old son make a beer run.
Fagan said he is always too drunk to drive and thought he was playing it safe by
making his son take the wheel instead.
Neighbors said Fagan lost his job in construction, his wife divorced him and he is
a single father caring for two sons.
“They go camping; they go fishing; they love each other,” said Fagan’s neighbor
Leslie Gower. “I know he’s a good father, but he’s probably stressed.”
NOTED. More than 160 mountain bikers
suffered food poisoning caused by contami
nated sheep droppings along the Welsh coun
tryside.
The cyclists tested positive for a bacterium
that is usually caused by consuming uncooked
meat and poultry. They are believed to have got
ten sick by eating snacks and meals during the
event without washing their hands first.
