STANFORD, Ky. —  A preschooler put his little brother in a car, got it turned around and headed off to his grandmother's house.

The trip didn't go well, but no one got hurt, WKYT-TV reported.

Lincoln County Sheriff Curt Folger said the 4-year-old boy began his journey when his mother and her boyfriend were asleep on Saturday.

He got the seat adjusted and the car started and turned around, but he ran through a fence and into some trees.

The sheriff said the boyfriend was arrested after he got to the car and made a threatening gesture toward either the boy or the deputy who was investigating. He was charged with menacing.

The boys' mother was reported to child protective services.
