Man, Woman Drive From Arizona To Wyoming With Kids In Trunk

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - A man and woman admitted in court they drove from Arizona to Wyoming with two children in the trunk of their car. Michael Fee, 63, and Amber Freudenstein, 31, each pleaded guilty Thursday to two misdemeanor counts of child endangerment.

Sheriff's officials say a third party told them the children reported riding in the trunk for much of the 900-mile drive while two German shepherds sat in the back seat.

Fee said in court there was not enough room for everyone so the children were relegated to the trunk. Court documents show the children are about 6 and 10 years old.
