Police: Indy Mother Drove With Kids In Trunk
Woman Charged With 3 Counts Of Child Neglect
INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indianapolis woman is accused of transporting three of her children in the trunk of her car Saturday while driving impaired.
Police said Linda Lee Crenshaw, 45, was driving with seven passengers inside the car, and three children -- aged 6, 7 and 8 -- inside the trunk, RTV6's Derrik Thomas reported.
"We received a phone call from a passerby who saw her put three kids in the trunk. She tells us she did it because she did not want to make more than one trip to the movie theater, which is where she intended to go with the kids," Marion County Sheriff's Department Capt. Phil Burton said.
Police said Crenshaw changed her plans and instead headed to a go-kart and miniature golf course. An officer stopped her in the 9900 block of East 10th Street.
Crenshaw faces three counts of child neglect and preliminary charges of driving under the influence of alcohol.
None of the children were hurt in the incident. Crenshaw was being held without bond Monday. She is scheduled for an initial hearing Wednesday, Thomas reported.
