According to officers, both parents showed clear signs of intoxication, and during the stop the mother was seen striking the infant. Bodycam footage captured the heartbreaking moment, sparking outrage after it was shared online.
The baby was immediately removed from the vehicle and placed into protective custody. Both parents now face multiple charges, including DUI, child endangerment, and assault.
Authorities called the case a sobering reminder of how dangerous impaired driving is — not just for the public, but for the most vulnerable passengers.
