TAMPA - A 19-year-old man pushed a baby carriage into a street while trying to avoid a deputy serving an arrest warrant, according to a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office report.

About 1:45 p.m. Thursday, a deputy saw Jamal Deshard McQueen pushing a 10-month-old baby along 15th Street. The deputy had an arrest warrant for McQueen regarding an armed burglary last week.

He yelled for McQueen to stop. Instead, McQueen pushed the stroller into 15th Street and ran to a wooded area, the deputy wrote in a report. The baby was not injured.

Sheriff's dogs tracked down McQueen, and he was arrested. He faces charges of child neglect and resisting arrest without violence as well as the warrant charges of burglary and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

McQueen was being held at Orient Road Jail. No bail had been set.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Jamal Deshard McQueen as a member of the Drak Boys gang.
