Poilce in New Mexico pulled over a man who was "driving like an idiot" and discovered something much worse than his failed sobriety test. The man had his fly undone and there were six children in the car. The suspect's name is Jeremy Guthrie, 42, and he's now facing a ton of charges after this incident that looks to be a nightmare for any parents. During the stop, one cop asked who the kids were.
Guthrie said they were friends. One cop asked about the girl in the passenger seat being 18 or not. Suspect Guthrie said yes, but the cop did not agree. Fox News had the report, which is from 2023 by the way. We're just seeing the video now, but here's what the article said:
"During that arrest, there were six children in the car, so he was also charged with abuse of a child," the DA's communications director Nancy Laflin told Fox News Digital.
Then, during a follow-up investigation, one of the girls told authorities Guthrie had sexually abused her, according to prosecutors.
"Based on statements from the child and corroborating evidence in the case, police arrested Guthrie," Laflin said.

Additional charges included 10 counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor, three counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of false imprisonment.
Officers told the kids to call their parents and to pick them up at the scene as they processed Guthrie.
