Couple brings infant son along on police chase
Note to criminals — do not bring your 1-month-old son with you when you’re being chased by the cops, he’ll only slow you down.
Timothy Hartford Jr., 38, and Ashley Smith, 26, are suspects in the Thursday shooting deaths of a man and woman in Winston-Salem, N.C., police said. The victims were a 77-year-old Meals on Wheels volunteer and a man she was serving lunch. Another volunteer, the dead woman’s husband, was wounded.
The suspects’ 1-month-old son was with them during the chase and ensuing standoff and was taken into the custody of child protective services. He was not injured, Virginia State Police Sgt. Michelle Cotten said.
A state police officer saw Hartford and Smith’s vehicle in Suffolk at about 2 a.m. Friday and attempted to stop it. Smith drove on and police pursued the vehicle into Norfolk and used road spikes to shred its tires, officials said.
The couple pulled into a shopping mall parking garage and were negotiating with police, but didn’t surrender until about five hours later.
