Man Accused of Throwing Baby at Sheriff’s Deputy in Effort to Evade Arrest After High-Speed Chase


A suspect in a bizarre high-speed car chase allegedly threw a baby at law enforcement as he tried to make a hurried escape. The shocking incident occurred in Florida.

John Henry James III, 32, now faces multiple felony charges, including two counts of aggravated child abuse, after allegedly tossing the two-month-old child at a deputy in an apartment complex parking lot on May 26, according to the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.

“You can’t throw a baby at us and expect us to treat you with kid gloves,” Sheriff Eric Flowers said in a Facebook post on Friday.

Dash cam and aerial helicopter footage released Friday shows key parts of the chase including the too-far-fetched-for-Hollywood ending where the infant appears to be thrown in a deranged Hail Mary play.
