Dubuque police said an intoxicated driver arrested early Saturday had left his 5-year-old daughter alone in a hotel room hours earlier.
Eric M. Estrada, 31, of Chicago, was arrested at 12:36 a.m. Saturday near the intersection of White and East Ninth streets on charges of operating while under the influence, possession of marijuana, illegally carrying weapons and child endangerment.
Court documents state that a police officer saw Estradaâs vehicle driving near the intersection of Iowa and West Ninth streets without its headlights on. He pulled over the vehicle, and Estrada exhibited signs of impairment while admitting that he had smoked marijuana and drank alcohol earlier that night. He failed standardized field sobriety tests.
