#Kids found dead after being locked in car for 5 hours, dad arrested

An Oklahoma dad was arrested after his two young kids were left in a locked truck for five hours and died, according to a report.

Dustin Lee Dennis, 31, was arrested on two counts of second-degree murder after the two children, who are both under the age of 5, died Saturday outside of his Tulsa home, Fox23 reported.

He told police he drove with his kids around noon to a convenience store, but then returned home and fell asleep for several hours.

When he woke up, Dennis couldn’t find his children — then found them on the floorboard of his truck, the outlet reported.

He then brought them inside to the living room, but paramedics were unable to save them, according to the report.

Police said a neighbor had a video of Dennis locking his truck and going inside without getting his children out, the outlet reported.

“The children had not been checked on for nearly five hours during the time they were locked inside vehicle,” the arrest report said.

Dennis was arrested and booked in Tulsa County jail, where he’s being held on a $1 million bond, according to the news outlet.
