A six-year-old who had been locked in a laundromat dryer was found crying and shaking by Texas cops after he was placed there by three adults as punishment.
Horrified by-standers called police after they watched the boy be locked in the dryer for more than five minutes at Hi Tek Washateria in Houston.
It's unclear how everyone involved is related, but three adults and one child had been at the laundromat on Nov. 11 when the boy became upset after losing a bag of potato chips, according to the local constable.
To punish him, Haven Duncan, 18, placed the boy in a dryer and locked the door so he couldn't leave.
Life Ford, 19, and Jaqory Gill, 20, refused to let the child out of the drier until he found his snacks-- a cruelty that went on for at least five minutes until people watching started to call 911.
The boy was 'visibly shaking and crying' when police arrived and rescued him.
He was checked out by a medical team and later released to a guardian.
However, when the cops tried to arrest the adults, Gill ran away.
As the cops tried to stop him, Ford stepped in front of a deputy and pushed him to give Gill time to get away.
Gill was eventually caught anyway.
Duncan was handcuffed when authorities found he had a loaded gun on him.
All three suspects were arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail.

If he is lucky that is
Well, he should have been more careful with the chips.
just kidding, just kidding.
I know what happened to the bag. The kid ate them all then threw the empty bag away. A kid at that age can really put away a bag of chips.
Those effing monsters.
lol
At least they didn’t kill him for his transgression ... of course he might be better off if they had given he is still below the age of accountability.
It’s them again, Yogi.
well at least they didnt turn it on...
As a child of the 60’s I can remember when taking a ride in a commercial dryer was great fun.
Also riding home in the trunk of the car. And steel monkey bars on concrete.
Dang. It’s a wonder I and so many others are still alive.
BTTT. I hope the kid will be OK.
Of course, I wouldn't allow my kids the opportunity. Probably get pulled over by a cop. There's far too many bad drivers on the road today.
FWIW, I'm celebrating the 48th anniversary of pinning on my Jump Wings at Fort Benning, GA.
That would cost money.
Gosh! Those Teens and their hijinks!
Typical suspects. I went to look but didn’t really need to.
The name “Jaqory” is a clue.
As long as they kept it in the “wrinkle free” cycle, he should have been fine.
lol
Life Ford and Jaqory Gill?
Thought DEMONcrats we all in for safe spaces and time-out.
Life Ford... must be related to Thirty Years Without Parole Ford.
Or “Triple Life” Ford.
