PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon man on vacation with his family is accused of putting two of his four children in a car trunk because the vehicle was too small to hold all of them.
Douglas Willy, 40, was arrested Saturday after police received a tip from a person who saw the family at a gas station, authorities said. He was charged with two counts of reckless endangerment.
Willy, his fiancee and their four children were taking a trip but the vehicle did not fit all six passengers. So, police said, he decided two of the children would ride in the trunk to avoid taking a second vehicle.
Police said a 12-year-old and 13-year-old were in the trunk, and had been riding inside for about 20 miles.
The woman took the children home on Saturday. Authorities said Willy was released without bail Sunday.
A telephone message left Sunday at the Willy's home was not immediately returned.
