BCSO says a man is accused of trying to put his 3-month-old son in a dumpster after leading deputies on a high-speed chase.
SAN ANTONIO — The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office say a man accused of trying to put his 3-month-old son in a dumpster after leading deputies on a high-speed chase has been arrested.
Around 3:30 p.m., BCSO responded to a gas station after receiving a report from a worried mother regarding her husband, identified as 44-year-old Kye Bruce, and their 3-month-old baby.
BCSO said the family had stopped at the San Antonio gas station to adjust the child’s car seat and when the mother exited the vehicle, Bruce allegedly drove away with the baby in his lap, leaving the car seat behind.
The mother asked a bystander for help and called 911, providing a description of the vehicle and Bruce.
When a deputy located the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop, Bruce allegedly accelerated and began a high speed chase that authorities ended shortly after due to safety concerns.
Bruce was later found and arrested by the Hondo Police Department after witnesses reported seeing him trying to put his 3-month-old son in a dumpster at Peerless Equipment located at 313 US 90 East.
The child was taken to a local hospital and was checked on by investigators who say CPS will follow up on the case.
Bruce was booked and is facing charges for evading arrest and abandoning/ endangering a child.
This is an ongoing investigation.
