Babysitting dad charged with child endangerment after driving drunk with 7-year-old son (Reno, Nevada)

Yet another Daddy doing the child care thing while Mommy works. Dad SALVATOR CERVANTES has been arrested on child endangerment charges after nearly striking a patrol car and running several red lights. But the time cops caught up with him, he was already passed out at home. Seems his 7-year-old son was in his truck for part of that trip, and two other children were in the home too. I think I'm seeing why Mom's the family breadwinner here.
