(KAIR)--Allegations of race-based profiling are being made by a Holton couple, who say they were loading groceries into their vehicle when authorities arrived, accusing them of stealing from the Holton Walmart.

The Kansas City Star reports 26-year-old Bracey Myles and his 20-year-old fiance, Alfreda Lange, were questioned for 20 minutes, while their infant son was left inside the hot vehicle.
Allegedly, authorities told them they could not turn on the car, to run the air conditioning, and that’s when Myles began recording the incident, posting the video, which has gone viral, to Twitter.

The couple claims the child suffered heat rash.
Having lived in Holton for only about a month, the couple says they were the only black people inside the store, and believe they were racially profiled.

A GoFundMe account has been established to help them move.
The video shows two Deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and an Officer from the Holton Police Department.
Holton Police Chief Gale Gakle told the newspaper his officer was called to assist at the scene, but had few details about the incident, adding that he had no knowledge that any charges have been filed.
The newspaper’s attempts for a comment from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office had not been successful at the time of publication.
An email sent to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse Friday morning by MSC News was not immediately answered.
