8-year-old drives 4-year-old sister to get cheeseburger

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio -It wasn't a Big Mac attack, but a hankering for a cheeseburger that prompted an eight-year-old boy from East Palestine to get behind the wheel of his dad's van and drive to the local McDonald's with his 4-year-old sister.

East Palestine Police officer Jacob Koehler tells 21 News that the boy pulled up to the drive-thru window of the restaurant at around 8 p.m. Sunday after driving from his home where his parents were sleeping about a half mile away.

The boy just wanted to buy a cheeseburger at the Market Street restaurant, according to police.

LMBO! Can you just imagine:

(8 pm)
**Ring**, **Ring**

"Hullo" (not awake yet)

"This is Tpr. XYZ of the ABC police department."

"What's going on?" (WIDE AWAKE now)

"Your children are with me at McDonald's."

"Is this a joke?"


"No. Your kids drove here to get a cheeseburger."

"Is this a joke? For real? My kids are in bed. They're only 8 & 4. Am I being punked?"

"No. Can you come get your kids and your van? We'll talk then."

"My VAN???? Hold on a minute...." (runs down the hall)

"OMG! WTH? Are you KIDDING me?"

"I'll be right there."

"Bring money. Lots of it. For bail....and the food."
