Officers said the man led police on a pursuit for about 15-20 minutes. Eventually, he returned to the area where police were called and stayed inside his vehicle, HPD said. Police said they negotiated with the man for a while and eventually had to request backup from HPD SWAT and hostage negotiators. Negotiators were able to talk to the suspect and convinced the man to get out of the vehicle and hand the baby off, investigators said.According to HPD, the suspect had open warrants for felony evading arrest and DWI. The charges for the hostage incident are currently pending, police said.
Investigators said the man is married to the child’s mother and they don’t think he intended to harm the child. Officers believe the man may pose a risk to the child after trying to flee the police.
