The three children, ages 9 and 10, were recovered safely after a tipster called police Sunday. Police reportedly responded to the gas station in La Vergne and found the three children in the trunk and six other children of the same age in the cab area of the car, police said.

The suspect, 33-year-old Andria James, was arrested by the La Vergne Police Department and charged with three counts of reckless endangerment.

The children’s parents were called and they were able to pick up their children, reports the station. James was released from jail on $1,000 bail early Monday morning, the paper reports.
