Austin, MN (The Weekly Vice) - Robert Christgau, a 56-year-old Austin man was jailed after he he got hammered and then drove his car around in circles with his 7-year-old grandson clinging to the vehicle's roof.
According to authorities, a man confronted Christgau after watching him drive a Ford Escort around in circles in front of his apartment with a young boy hanging on to the luggage rack.
At one point Christgau even crashed into a set of porch steps as the boy's legs dangled over the vehicle's windshield.
When deputies arrived at the scene, Christgau was visibly intoxicated and smelled of alcohol.
Deputies say Christgau was standing next to his car with an open can of beer on the roof. Tests later showed Christgau's blood alcohol level to be .14% - twice the state’s legal limit, according to investigators.
Christgau was booked into jail on charges of driving while intoxicated, child neglect and child endangerment. His bail was set at $12,000.

The torn "wife beater" shirt says it all.
A very caring grandparent indeed.
What a loser.
I wonder what sort of lesson the old fart was trying to teach the young lad. Some of my fondest memories were with my grandfather. This poor kid had to end up with this piece of trash… sad.
Why was the kid even on the roof of a truck? the grandfather who was drunk must have thought he was a evil dragon and his truck was a magic mountable cow
