Culpeper man indicted in case of boy found dead in trunk

Posted on Jun 18, 2008

A grand jury has indicted a man who police say put a child killed in a car crash into the vehicle's trunk.

Fielding Taylor Kines, 38, of Remington was indicted Monday by a Culpeper County grand jury on charges of driving under the influence and involuntary DUI aggravated manslaughter.

Kines, who was indicted for his alleged role in a May 16 crash that killed Orion Bickings, 8, is to be arraigned July 16.

Virginia State Police said Kines lost control of his car on a northern Culpeper County road, causing the boy to be ejected.

A warrant filed in General District Court also accused Kines of possibly trying to hide the severity of the wreck from police and witnesses by moving the child into the trunk of the wrecked car.

Kines and a 5-year-old child in the car were not injured.
