Towed Away

Paul and Belinda Berloni

Grandparents in Florida certainly were "towed away" but not by the average tow truck---by the police!

The couple had attached their granddaughters toy car to the back of the S.U.V. and had opted to tow her, or drive her, down an access road at least four times. 

According to reports, "A Florida couple is facing child endangerment charges after they reportedly towed their 7-year-old  granddaughter behind their SUV in a toy car after having a few beers Sunday afternoon."  The couple stated to reporters, "We took this and hooked it around the hitch of the truck and drove about five miles an hour up and down the street with her." 

     In hindsight the couple admits that the stunt was dangerous and "stupid".  The couple, 47-year-old Belinda Berloni and her husband 49-year-old Paul Berloni even stated that they did not believe cops would arrest them, but that they would be warned and told that they could not haul their granddaughter behind them while attached to their vehicle. 

Deputies at the scene checked out Belinda and her husband Paul and discovered he had as many as 4 DUI's.  Thankfully their granddaughter is safe and unharmed.  The parents of the girl were upset with Belinda for the incident once they learned of it.  Belinda has since made bail and is under house supervision.
