A Michigan man was arrested on two charges of child abuse after having his 9-year-old daughter drive his van to a nearby station because he'd been drinking, police said on Tuesday.

In a surveillance video at a gas station shot October 8, a wobbly Shawn Russell, 39, told the clerk, "I got a designated driver!"

Police said the chaos continued until a good Samaritan saw what was unfolding, followed the pair and called 911.

The 4-foot-tall girl had been sitting in a booster seat while driving, Brownstown Township Detective Lt. Robert Grant said, adding the girl asked the officer who pulled her over, "What did you stop me for? I was driving good!"
