children but at least you can't say he wasn't honest during this interaction he racked up four charges including driving while Under the Influence three counts of aggravated DWI with children in the vehicle three counts of endangering the welfare of a child and operating a motor vehicle without a license when taking on scene via breathalyzer his blood alcohol content was recorded at .24 triple the legal limit when taken at the station hours later his blood alcohol had dropped to 0.17 still more than double the legal limit at that time his three children were safely picked up on scene by their uncle Child Protective Services was notified of the incident and a report was filed John was eventually released to a sober third party do you think Jon's honesty should be a factor when deciding his sentencing or should he be punished to the fullest extent of the law leave your opinion in the comments thank you for watching cop cam Nation be sure to like And subscribe for more juicy
