Two Charged After Strapping Kids to Hood of Car

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) Two people are in police custody after they allegedly strapped four kids to the hood of a car after leaving a Fort Wayne liquor store Monday evening.

Police said around 5:30 p.m., someone called 911 to report that a man and a woman had strapped the kids to the hood and left the Belmont Beverage parking lot at 2116 Fairfield Ave.

A couple area residents saw the kids strapped to the car just before police arrived.

"I couldn't believe it! They had this strap across their legs. They were squirming to get out. They didn't know what to do. And I told the people in the car, 'Don't do that!'," said Bonita Gorsuch.

"They were all drunk.  They were all all high, or whatever.  They've got babies on a car!  That's not nice," said Tom Nowak.
