Police in South Carolina released dashboard camera video showing the moment a Virginia mother was freed from the trunk of a car after being kidnapped by her own son.
Regelio Lopez, 20, kidnapped his mother from their Richmond, Va., home and stuffed her in the trunk of his green Cadillac last month because she refused to move with him to Miami, local WWBT reported.
Highway patrol officers began hunting for the vehicle Feb. 25 after receiving reports that it was involved in a kidnapping.
Troopers spotted the car in a rest area of I-95 near Santee around 6:30 p.m.
Lopez’s mother was found in the trunk. She wasn’t seriously injured, but taken to a local hospital as a precaution.
According to authorities, at some point during the trip, Lopez had stopped at a Dairy Queen in Clarendon County, S.C., to get some food for his mom.
She tried to escape, but he slugged her in the ribs and told her to get the trunk, police said.
Lopez was jailed in Richmond on kidnapping charges.
