Father Arrested After Police Find 3 Kids in Trunk During DUI Stop

On January 23rd, 2026, Officer William Kesler of the Westminster Police Department stopped a driver after reckless maneuvers in a parking lot. What began as a suspected DUI investigation quickly escalated into something far more serious. During the stop, the driver admitted to drinking earlier in the day and showed multiple signs of impairment. But moments after being detained, he made a shocking statement — revealing that children were inside the trunk of the vehicle. Officers immediately opened the trunk and found three unrestrained children inside in freezing temperatures. The driver was arrested and charged with DUI, reckless driving, and multiple counts of child abuse. This episode breaks down the bodycam footage, the officer’s decisions, and how a routine traffic stop turned into a case that stunned even responding officers. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. #Bodycam #DUIArrest #ChildEndangerment #PoliceFootage #TrafficStop #CriticalFootage #TrueCrime #LawEnforcement
