MORE DETAILS: Man tells police ‘my mistake’ after allegedly stealing car with 2 children inside
He is being held in the Middletown City Jail under a $200,000 bond. The case was bound over to Warren County because that’s where the alleged incident occurred.
The incident received wide attention because the grandmother was dragged by the car as she tried to save the children, and the 8-year-old boy helped his 10-year-old sister escape the car.
Police asked Singh how he acquired the car in which he was found, and he said, “I take it,” according to the police report.
Singh also acknowledged that he knew there were two children in the car and that he resisted the grandmother’s attempts to open the car door before taking off at a high rate of speed out of the parking area near the Atrium Medical Center parking lot, according to the report.
Singh has been charged with two counts of kidnapping, a second-degree felony; grand theft, a fourth-degree felony; assault, a first-degree misdemeanor; and a misdemeanor charge for no operator’s license.
