HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 A man and woman were arrested after deputies said they fled from law enforcement with a small child in the back seat of their vehicle.<\/p>\n

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, deputies on Monday spotted a driver they identified as a habitual traffic offender with 16 prior convictions for driving with a suspended or revoked license. The vehicle was traveling near East College Avenue and 30th Street Southeast.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office said deputies attempted a traffic stop, but the driver and passenger switched seats before fleeing onto Interstate 75 northbound. The Florida Highway Patrol later joined the pursuit and attempted a second traffic stop on Big Bend Road, but the vehicle continued driving.<\/p>\n
