During the stop, Afflick was found to be intoxicated while traveling with six children ranging in age from 4 to 13 in the vehicle, McCormick said.

The children were turned over to a responsible party.
Afflick was charged with DWI Leandra's Law and released to a sober third party.
He is scheduled to appear in court in May.
