CHESAPEAKE — A South Point man who allowed his 13-year-old son to drive him to a bar and then home afterward pleaded no contest Monday in Lawrence County Municipal Court.

Clifford Roberts, 35, of 422 Solida Road, South Point, pleaded no contest to one count of child endangerment and one count of possession of drugs. Unlike a guilty plea, a plea of no contest means Roberts did not dispute the facts of the case and agreed there was evidence against him in regard to the charges.

On the child endangerment charge, Judge Donald Capper sentenced him to 90 days in jail but suspended 80 of the 90 days. Roberts was given credit for the one day in jail he had served before arranging bond.

Capper also placed Roberts on one-year probation, fined Roberts $200 and ordered him to undergo counseling. Roberts must also pay $110 court costs. On the drug charge, Capper fined Roberts $100.

Roberts was arrested in October after he allegedly allowed his 13-year-old son to drive him to The Whiskey River Saloon at the Grandview Inn in South Point and then back home after Roberts was finished drinking.

Deputy Brian Chaffins, who answered the call regarding Roberts reported that Roberts was so intoxicated he “could barely stand” when being questioned about the incident in the Lawrence Village apartment complex parking lot.
