An Iowa City man faces child neglect charges after allegedly driving drunk while his son was sitting unsecured in the front passenger seat.
Radoslaw Szulc was stopped Sunday evening, his 42nd birthday, after he allegedly struck a pedestrian while in the parking lot of Colonial Lanes in south Iowa City. During the incident, his seven-year-old son was seated in the front with no child safety seat or restraints.
After he was stopped, Szulc was believed to be under the influence, and was arrested for OWI second offense.
He was charged with Child Neglect as well, and if convicted on both counts Szulc could be sentenced to up to 12 years in prison.
