Daniel McCoy, of Grants, was arrested Friday after a Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy spotted him near Dennis Chavez and 118th SW speeding and crossing over the center yellow lines into oncoming traffic, according to a criminal complaint.
The deputy stopped McCoy, and observed a little girl sitting on McCoy’s lap. The complaint said when the deputy asked McCoy what the girl might be doing on his lap while he was driving, McCoy replied, “I’m trying to teach my daughter how to drive.”
McCoy was charged with child abuse.
One thought on “Yeah, and who taught him?”

Child abuse? damn. Back in my day, we called that big fun!
I used to sit on my dad’s lap and he’d let me steer while he worked the pedals.
Oh well. Then again, this was also on the back roads around Tucumcari…so maybe that makes a difference….
I was able to drive our four wheel drive Blazer, get out and lock the hubs, and also get it backed up to unload our boat…by age twelve.
Child abuse?
