The quick thinking of law enforcement officers rescued a child from a drunk parent.

Law enforcement officers conducting a routine traffic stop in Delft late Sunday evening intervened to rescue a crying infant from a dangerous situation.

The officers noticed an intoxicated man walking by while carrying the baby, who appeared distressed and was not properly dressed for the cold weather.

Upon further investigation, the officers noted that the child was without a blanket or appropriate warm clothing.

He identified himself as the infant’s father and was found to be in an advanced state of intoxication.
