Authorities in Montgomery County have charged a man with Child Endangerment following an incident that took place in a vehicle late this (Wednesday) morning, near Red Oak. 21-year old Jacob W. Avery, of Imogene, was a passenger in a vehicle who was allegedly involved in an altercation in the vehicle, sometime after 11-a.m.

When deputies investigated the alleged altercation, they were told Avery had left the vehicle, but he was located a short distance away. During the investigation, it was determined that as a passenger in the vehicle, Avery allegedly rapidly applied the brakes, causing the vehicle to skid on the road, and children in the rear seat to be thrown against their restraints.

Avery was taken into custody at around 11:35-a.m. and brought to the Montgomery County Jail without incident. His bond was set at $2,000.
