 An Indiana man was arrested for DUI while driving a children's Power Wheel toy, according to police.

James McKee was driving a Power Wheels Jeep around 9 p.m. on Wednesday when he was reportedly stopped by an officer with the Indiana State Police. The man was reportedly driving in the roadway with no lights or reflectors in Vincennes, Indiana. 

The state trooper allegedly pulled over the Power Wheels toy after observing the driver of the toy vehicle driving erratically and showing signs of impairment.

The 51-year-old driver is accused of failing field sobriety tests, according to police.

"ISP said the man was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes and it was determined he was under the influence of methamphetamine and marijuana," according to WAVE – a television station out of Louisville, Kentucky.

The man driving a Power Wheels Jeep was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a prior conviction – a level 6 felony. 

McKee was arrested and taken to the Knox County Jail.
