“She’s driving pretty good. I’m telling you, I can’t believe it”.

The witness followed the van until police arrived to make the traffic stop.

Officers found the girl sitting on a booster seat behind the wheel.

Weimer, who had visitation with his daughter on weekends, was arrested and the child was turned over to the care of relatives.

Police say Weimer didn't see a problem letting his nine-year-old daughter drive.

The girl told officers her father had been drinking whiskey and that he had let her drive before.

Action News reached Weimer by phone and he said that he was wrong for letting his daughter drive. He added that he is a good dad who made a bad decision.

Weimer has been charged with 2nd Degree Child Abuse (Felony), 4th Degree Child Abuse (Misdemeanor) and Habitual 4th (Felony) due to prior convictions that include Unarmed Robbery and Felon in Possession, according to police.

Weimer is free on a $25,000 personal bond and has been ordered not to have any contact with his daughter who resides with her mother.
