A Richmond, Indiana man is facing multiple felony charges after police say he let two eleven-year-old girls drive his pickup truck, resulting in a crash.
Wayne County sheriff's deputies arrested thirty-seven-year-old Jason M. Combs on Thursday. According to court documents, Combs picked up three children from a school skating party last week and allowed two of them to take the wheel on hazardous back roads.
The joyride ended when one of the young drivers panicked as another vehicle approached, causing the truck to careen off the road and hit a ditch. Authorities say Combs failed to report the crash and simply drove the children home. The incident came to light the next day when one of the girls told a teacher.
Combs faces three counts of neglect of a dependent.
