Dad chases car with ex-girlfriend, baby; rams the car twice (Billings, Montana)

Sometimes I wonder if dads like TRAVIS KENNETH BOHL even realize how stupid their excuses really are. So you're (allegedly) "worried" because your ex-girlfriend "took" her own 4-month-old baby, and you're (presumably) afraid you won't get to see the kid again. So do you try to maintain a friendly relationship with the ex-girlfriend, and try to be supportive of her and the child? Nah, that's too easy and logical. Daddy decides he's got a better approach. He'll chase the car that mom and the baby are in and ram it (twice!). Hey Dad, did you ever think that maybe somebody might get hurt, even the precious baby you're (allegedly) so "worried" about seeing again? Hmm, guess not. Hey, that's showing the love! (Actually, there ain't no love here. This is just control.)

Worried dad accused of ramming car with baby inside

A 19-year-old man accused of ramming his car into a car occupied by his former girlfriend and the couple's 4-month-old baby was arraigned Thursday in District Court.

Travis Kenneth Bohl appeared before Judge Susan Watters by video from the county jail and pleaded not guilty to felony criminal endangerment. The judge set bond at $7,500.

According to court records, police were called at 2:27 p.m. Aug. 28 to the parking lot of a downtown Billings bank.

A woman there said she had been visiting Bohl with their daughter and a female friend when the two women left with the baby in a car. Bohl chased them in another car, twice ramming his car into the other car. The women escaped by driving through an alley and onto a busy road, eventually stopping at the bank to call 911.

Officers located Bohl, who allegedly said the incident happened because his ex-girlfriend took the baby and he was afraid he would not see the child again, court records state.
