CINCINNATI -- A father sits in jail accused of cooking heroin with his three children in the car.

Mark Andy Mullis was arrested Friday. Police said he was cooking heroin in his car at a McDonald's in the 400 block of East Martin Luther King Drive.

According to court documents, Mullis ignored officer's warnings to stop and swallowed the heroin.

"At that time, he decided to lock himself and three kids in the car to finish doing what he was doing," said Mullis' sister Tracey Reese.

Officers broke the window of the car to keep Mullis from ingesting the heroin, court records indicated.

Family members said two of Mullis' children -- a 2-year-old and 10-month old -- slept through the ordeal, but his 4-year-old son watched it all happen from the back seat of the car.

"He saw his dad shooting up. He saw them bust out windows to get him out. You have the concern, 'What did he see? How much will affect him? What will he remember?'" Reese said.

The kids are now with their mother.

Mullis is charged with tampering with evidence and three counts of child endangering. He is being held at the Hamilton County Jail on $6,000 bond.

Family members said they are disappointed because they thought Mullis had finally beaten his addiction.

"It grabs you and pulls you back in," Reese said. "It's a nasty drug. When it has you, it has you, and it's hard to break from."
