OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City Police arrested two people for allegedly trying to use children for prostitution.

Michael Blackmon and Wendolyn Ward were arrested on Saturday at a northeast Oklahoma City truck stop.

A truck driver called police after he said a 16-year-old girl knocked on his window and asked if he wanted company.

Officers stopped an SUV in the parking lot of the Petro Truck Stop at 20 Martin Luther King Avenue and found the pair inside with six children ranging from 9-years-old to 17-years-old.

Ward told police she was the mother of four of the children and the aunt of the other two.

All six children are in DHS custody.
