Cambridge was arrested on Tuesday after his 2-year-old and 5-year-old children were killed while riding with him on a dirt bike that was struck by a Ford F-150 back in February, according to the Sanford Police Department.
Investigators said the unregistered dirt bike was reported to be traveling at a “high rate of speed” with no headlights on in the 1700 block of Historic Goldsboro Boulevard. Neither Cambridge nor his children were wearing helmets at the time, police said.
The judge also stated, “If he does makes bond, well, it’s a good idea to get him fit with a GPS monitor. If he doesn’t make bond, he’ll be talking to his lawyers.”
