Police said that a neighbor called them at about 4:20 p.m. Friday to report that the Griffins put two children in the trunk of a Pontiac Grand Am and drove away
When police arrived at a mobile home park where the Griffins live, the couple was not home, officers said.
The parents were found home on Saturday afternoon, along with their five children, between the ages of 8 months and 9 years.
According to police, the Griffins said that three of their children were asleep in the back seat of the car and that their 9- and 4-year-old children were put in the trunk because there was no room for them.
The children were taken into protective custody. The couple posted $10,000 bond each on Saturday night.
