Tulsa father charged with felony child neglect after children die in hot truck
by Makenzie Trotter, KTUL staff Wednesday, July 15th 2020
TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — A Tulsa man has been charged with felony child neglect for the deaths of his two young children, according to the Department of Justice.
Dustin Dennis, 31, is accused of leaving his children unsupervised for more than four hours. During that time, they got into his truck and died from heat exposure.
Last week, Dennis was charged with second-degree murder in state court, but those charges were dismissed Monday following last week's Supreme Court ruling involving Native American jurisdiction.
Investigators say the crime happened within the boundaries of the Creek Nation, and that his 4-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son are Cherokee citizens.
