The woman told police she'd picked a friend up for a ride and that when they stopped at the intersection of Texas 183 and Story Road the man jumped out of the vehicle and began running away. The woman said she followed the man, leaving her child in the car. A person who stopped behind the woman's vehicle reported seeing the man and woman run from the vehicle and then noticed the child trying to get out of the car. The person then got out of their own car to make sure the child stayed safely inside the vehicle. Moments later, the man who ran from the vehicle returned, got behind the wheel and drove away, police said.
