A 32-year-old James City County man was arrested for child neglect after he was accused of drunkenly driving with a child in the car.
Antoine Maurice Grant was initially pulled over around 11 p.m. Sunday for driving 52 mph in a 45 mph speed limit area at the intersection of Centerville and Richmond roads, Stephanie Williams-Ortery with the James City County Police Department said.
A 6-year-old child who is related to Grant was sitting in the back seat of the Ford Taurus when they pulled Grant over and arrested him for driving under the influence of alcohol.
In addition to the misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol, Grant was charged with one felony count of child neglect.
The child’s mother took the child home after Grant was arrested.
