The woman in the passenger seat of a vehicle at a gas station near New York City was holding a sign that said, “Please call 911, CALL 911.” A witness at the gas station saw the sign and contacted police.
When officers arrived Tuesday afternoon, they arrested a 36-year-old man who was allegedly holding his girlfriend and her three boys – a 13-year-old as well as 3-year-old twins with developmental disorders – inside the vehicle under a threat of violence, according to reports.
The suspect, identified as William Jamal Wilkinson, of Ridge on Long Island, refused to let them out, police said.
