GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -

A Grand Junction man is accused of not only supplying alcohol to minors, but 'forcing' a nine-year-old to drink.

Brady Sipe, 26, was arrested and jailed on Wednesday after police say he gave the booze to five kids and an 18-year-old girl.

According to an arrest report, Sipe also offered beer to a nine-year-old who refused. Police say he then held the child down on the ground and forced them to drink.

Sipe was arrested and booked on several charges in this case including six counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, five charges of serving alcohol to minors, three counts of child abuse, and one charge each of resisting arrest and harassment.
