Pueblo police in Colorado continue the search for a woman caught shoving a young child into the trunk of a sedan.
The incident happened in the parking lot of the Loaf ‘N Jug store at N. Norwood Avenue on Thursday afternoon in Pueblo. A bystander recorded 33-year-old Chelsea Trujillo allegedly shoving her 5-year-old son into the trunk of a mid-2000s blue Chevrolet Malibu, according to the Pueblo Police Department.
