Police surrounded the vehicle and arrested a 52-year-old man. Police say they had to use a Taser after the man resisted arrest.

He’s being held without bond pending formal criminal charges. A woman was also taken into custody.

At least five kids were in the vehicle. Two of them were bound and blindfolded. State authorities took all five kids into protective custody.
