IDAHO FALLS -- A Blackfoot man has been sentenced to up to 8 years in prison for felony drunken driving after prosecutors said he drove down the wrong side of Interstate 15 with his 3-year-old son in the vehicle.
The Post Register reports that 28-year-old Joshua Neaman pleaded guilty to felony drunken driving and misdemeanor injury to a child. District Judge Gregory Moeller retained jurisdiction on the case, which means that Neaman may be eligible for release if he successfully completes a 240-day inpatient treatment program while in prison.
Police arrested Neaman on June 27 after finding him driving against traffic on Interstate 15. Police said his son wasn't in a car seat, and that Neaman's blood alcohol level was .266 -- well above the .08 legal limit.
