PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- An Oregon man was arrested after police found two of his children traveling in the trunk of the car for a family vacation, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Police pulled over the driver, Douglas Willy, on Saturday after receiving a tip from a person who saw them at a gas station. Police confirmed that there were two children, ages 12 and 13, traveling in the trunk of the vehicle.

Willy, his fiancee, Dee, and their four children were taking a trip to Seaside but the automobile they were driving did not fit all six passengers. So, according to police, Willy decided two of the children would rid in the trunk to avoid taking a second vehicle.

The children had been riding in the trunk for about 20 miles when the police pulled them over.

Willy was arrested and charged with two counts of reckless endangerment. The fiancee, Dee, took the four children home after they were safely placed in the car with seat belts.

A phone call to the Willy residence was not immediately returned.

Police said Willy has since been released without bail.

What's the problem?

Edit: Would the police rather have the kids sitting in the other occupants laps?

I think they'd prefer a spot with a) seat belts and b) less danger from exhaust.

Well if it was a newer car it should have exhaust leaks in the trunk. Besides, if they are in an accident the jumper cables in the truck are there to secure them to the car so the kids don't fly out.
