A Tacoma man faces drunk driving charges after getting pulled over Saturday night by troopers in Sumner with two women and five children in his Chevy crew cab truck.

According to KOMO News, the wife of 34-year-old Armando Romanisabel said he offered a ride to others at a party who needed to get home.

A Washington State Patrol trooper pulled him over when he noticed him swerving in the road.

Romanisabel has a previous DUI arrest and is supposed to have DUI interlock device on his truck, but he didn’t at the time of his arrest.

Of the five children that were squeezed into the cab along with the three adults, two were sharing a seatbelt and three of them were wearing no seatbelt at all.

Romanisabel has been charged with DUI, driving on a suspended license, not having an interlock device installed and five counts of child endangerment.

The children were unharmed in the incident and, following Romanisable’s arrest, their grandmother arrived to take them home.
