An Indiana man was arrested for driving under the influence Wednesday night after being pulled over in a kids’ Power Wheels Jeep, police said.

A state trooper was patrolling on North Second Street about 9 p.m. when he observed the toy car on the road with “no lights or reflectors and was difficult to see,” officials said in a release.

The trooper pulled the toy car over and noticed that the driver, John McKee, 51, of Vincennes, “displayed signs of impairment,” according to cops.

McKee failed a field sobriety test and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where it was determined that he was under the influence of methamphetamine and marijuana.
