Fairfield father accused of drunken driving after son falls out of golf cart - San Jose Mercury News: "A 51-year-old man whose son fell out of a golf cart the father was driving on Halloween night was arrested for felony driving under the influence, felony hit-and-run and felony child endangerment, Fairfield police reported Saturday.

At about 7:25 p.m. Friday, Fairfield police received calls about a man driving a golf cart erratically in the area of Timberline Drive and Silverado Drive in Cordelia.

When officers responded to the area, additional witnesses called to report that the man, Douglas Cyr, had a boy in the golf cart with him and had hit a vehicle, causing the boy to fall out of the cart.

Officers determined that Cyr was under the influence of alcohol. They also determined that he had struck two parked cars and caused his 9-year-old son to fall off of the golf cart.

Cyr fled the area and went home. Witnesses told the officers where Cyr lived and they went to the home and arrested him."
