When police stopped Michael Ingram for swerving in traffic they found five boys ages 12 and 13 in the back seat. Not only was Ingram driving drunk, police say he is a convicted sex offender who met the boys on MySpace. News 2 was the first to bring you this story.
Ingram is a registered sex offender and not supposed to be with young boys. But that’s exactly what he was doing Saturday, when police pulled him over and found the boys inside.
The mother of one of the boys in Ingram’s car said it all started outside Hermitage Elementary School. Ingram approached the boys and told them he knew a famous rock band and could get them autographs.
In an arrest affidavit from Saturday, the Metro police officer describes Ingram as drunk, saying he fell down on several occasions just standing.
