An allegedly drunk driver in Houston led the sheriff’s deputies on a chase early Sunday before he finally stopped and emerged from the vehicle with a baby, authorities said.
A Harris County MP saw a white Ford pickup “drive erratically” around 1:35 am, Lt. KR Benoit. The MP tried to do a traffic control but the driver refused to stop and a chase ensued, Benoit said.

Benoit described the driver as a Hispanic man in his late 20s or early 30s.
The officers arrested the driver and discovered three other children in the truck. Their ages ranged from an infant to eight years, Benoit said. Nobody was injured. Her relationship with the driver was unclear.
