Reporters take an oath to the dollar, not the truth

Watch exaggeration about a suspected DUI:
He is charged with his fifth drunken driving offense, a felony, and disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. If convicted, he faces a maximum six years in prison and a $10,000 fine, but those penalties double because he had two young children in the vehicle at the time.
He had kids in the car? That's fucked up. What's that? He had kids in the car but he wasn't driving? And he was on private property?
He placed the 6-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, both of whom were crying, into his Lincoln sport utility vehicle.
Witnesses heard the engine rev but said the SUV did not move.
At that point, a sheriff's deputy arrived and took Hansford into custody.
Yeah. Exceptional reporting. Ignoring misleading "facts", if this is true, the guy and his kids need help.
