A Florida man and woman are accused of leaving a juvenile on the side of the highway with bags of guns and some cash before telling him to "take care of the house" and driving away.
Bradley Leon Guerrero Santos, 36, and Roseanella Mendola Borja, 35, stand accused of child neglect. Santos is also charged with the offense of being a parent or guardian allowing a minor to have unlawful possession of a firearm.
Cops began investigating the incident shortly before 6 p.m. on Oct. 1, when they received 911 calls about a suspicious male walking along the shoulder of Interstate 75 in North Port.
Officers spotted the juvenile. whose age is redacted from the affidavit along with his relationship to the suspects. He was "initially reluctant to explain" his predicament, but eventually tried to explain the odd series of events that led to him walking alone on the highway. The boy said when he arrived home from school that day, the suspects were "frantically" packing bags.
