A Sundance man faces a felony charge of driving under the influence with a child passenger, second offense.

According to court reports, at 5:15 p.m. on March 11, a Crook County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report that Tyrell Burrows had come to pick up one of his children and got into an altercation with a teacher.

Burrows had allegedly left the campus with a child in his pickup.

The deputy reports that he was aware of Burrows from previous incidents and knew his home address, so he and a second deputy headed there. As they arrived, they allegedly saw Burrows exiting the driver’s side of a pickup that matched the description given.

The deputies made contact with Burrows and allegedly noticed that he was “unstable while walking”, then fell into the pickup and continued leaning on it.

In addition, the deputies reported noticing the odor of alcohol on his breath, as well as bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.

According to court reports, Burrows admitted to driving and being at the school but claimed he had not had anything to drink. He allegedly claimed to have had a beer on the way home.

Burrows allegedly showed signs of intoxication during sobriety tests. According to court reports, as he was having trouble completing one of the tests, he told the deputies, “Just take me guys”.

At 6:36 p.m., Burrows provided a breath sample that returned an alcohol concentration of 0.18.

Burrows has been charged with a felony count of driving while under the influence with child endangerment, second offense. He has a prior conviction of DUI with a child passenger in Crook County from 2019.
