HAMILTON CO.— Police say a Broughton 15-year-old has been charged with DUI after he was discovered driving around.
And although Broughton is not exactly a booming metropolis and the spelling of street names is somewhat questionable, on December 6, at 12:07 a.m., Jesse Wayne Trout, of 208 Appel St., seemed to find his way to a set of keys to a red, 1994 Jeep.
Authorities say that Trout was discovered driving the Jeep on Appel Street at Fourth Street and came to their attention when they noticed the vehicle did not have a registration light.
When the Jeep was stopped they found the teen to be under the influence of some kind of drug and without anything resembling a d river’s license, or permit which allowed him to operate a motor vehicle on a public roadway.
And so little Mr. Trout was charged with DUI Drugs, cited for No Registration and No License and turned over to the comfort of a guardian.
Young Trout is scheduled to make an appearance in court later this month and is not expected to be driving himself.
It remains unknown whether he is some kind of peripheral player in the now-well-known and equally-reviled Earp-Trout bunch, many of which hail from (and are charged in) Hamilton County these days.
