LAKE COUNTY — A woman was arrested for drunk driving with her 1-year-old son in the vehicle, and when the father came to pick the child up he too was arrested for drunk driving.

An Indiana State trooper stopped a minivan for speeding in the 4000 block of U.S. 30 about 12:45 a.m. Saturday. Troopers determined the driver, 24-year-old Kelli Thompson of Crown Point, was intoxicated.

Thompson called 23-year-old Robert Dereamer of Merrillville to pick up their son from the scene. When he arrived, troopers determined he too was intoxicated.

The boy's grandparents, who police say had also been drinking, arrived and took custody of him. Schererville police escorted them home.

Thompson was arrested on charges of speeding, operating a vehicle while intoxicated, and felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated/endangering a child.

Dereamer was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and driving with a suspended license.
