The North Dakota Patrol says Lang’s girlfriend…Yorkshire Hoon…and a two-year old child were also located in the pickup.

Lang faces additional charges of burglary…theft…possession of stolen property…eluding…and child neglect.

The NDHP says Hoon faces charges of burglary…possession of stolen property…trespassing…and child neglect.
