HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A woman led Houston police on a chase through southwest Houston Sunday afternoon with a baby in the car.
It started when police conducted a traffic stop. The woman gave a fake name, then took off with the toddler in the back seat, officials said.
Officers chased the woman from downtown through the University of Houston campus, down to the south side around the 610 South Loops, then to the Southwest Freeway at Beechnut where she voluntarily stopped in a convenience store parking lot.
The 18-month-old girl was checked by emergency medical personnel and appeared to be fine. Police said she was in a car seat the entire time.
According to officials, the driver fled because she had outstanding warrants.
Houston police said the woman was the child's babysitter.
Child Protective Services custody took care of the toddler until her mother picked her up Sunday night.
The babysitter was in custody late Sunday, facing charges of child endangerment and felony evading arrest. Her name was not released.
