Posted on Apr 17, 2009 10:49am PDT
In Fargo, North Dakota, 27 year old Joshua Renke is facing felony charges for child neglect and
bribery. According to police, Reinke was being investigated for child neglect when he tried to bribe a Fargo police officer with $50.
Last Friday, an officer from the Fargo police department spotted three young boys sitting inside of a parked car that had been left running and unattended. The car was located outside of an apartment complex.
When the officer went to check on the kids, Reinke came outside from the apartment complex and said that he was responsible for the children. The officer asked for identification, but instead of giving the officer his ID, Reinke opened up his wallet and handed the officer $50.
If Reinke is convicted, he will face up to five years in prison for his charges of bribery and child neglect.
