Two men arrested for locking woman inside hot truck

By HEATHER PYLES, CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal

Two men were arrested Friday after they allegedly placed an unconscious acquaintance inside a locked vehicle at a Burnside restaurant.

According to information provided by Burnside Assistant Police Chief Bruce Blevins, Leslie R. Burke, 36, of Somerset and Richard K. Hail Jr., 66, of Springfield, Ohio were arrested Friday afternoon on wanton endangerment charges after Blevins, responding to a report of an unconscious woman at Reno’s, discovered a woman passed out in a locked pickup truck.

Blevins, who responded to the report at around 3:30 p.m., said the woman did not regain consciousness for several minutes while he attempted to get into the vehicle. Once she did wake up, she told Blevins she could not remember how she got inside the truck. She had also urinated on herself while unconscious.

According to witness reports, the woman had “fallen down two or three times and passed out” from alcohol consumption inside the restaurant and Burke and Hail carried her out of the restaurant, deposited her in the back seat and went back into Reno’s.

“They didn’t offer to get her any medical help and put her in the truck and locked her up to where nobody could get to her,” Blevins said.

The woman was later revealed to be Burke’s mother.
