WANTED IN KING COUNTY - Deputies say Wayne Rattler had his girlfriend and a baby in the car when he was arrested for driving drunk after a reckless car crash he’s accused of causing in SeaTac.
Prosecutors say the results of a breathalyzer test showed Rattler was one and a half times the legal limit when he was arrested in January.
The child and the woman weren't hurt, but deputies say he did badly injure a woman in the vehicle he hit, breaking three ribs and a collarbone.
He's wanted now after failing to show up in court.
