ON KPRC 2 AT 10: A grandfather is in jail tonight after he was accused of leaving 5 of his grandchildren home without food or running air conditioning as temperatures reached triple digits on Monday.
53-year-old Kevin Turner is charged with one count of endangering a child. He hadn’t yet made his first court appearance as of Tuesday evening, so his bond has not been set.
Precinct 4 deputy constables went to the home off Rolling Creek Drive near Spring on Monday afternoon, after a woman called 911 with concerns about the kids’ welfare. The children were estimated to have been alone for 24 hours. They appeared to feel unwell and deputies didn’t observe food or running air conditioning, Herman said.
Their grandfather, Turner, had custody of the children. He showed up at the home amid the investigation as deputies were talking to prosecutors about potential charges. Herman said they were instructed to take him into custody at that time based on the evidence.
