A Texas man was arrested after a passerby alerted police that three children were alone in a minivan that was abandoned along a rural roadside.
The passerby found the young children, ages 3, 4, and 7, alone inside the minivan with the driver’s door open on the side of FM 2268 in Bell County.
The passerby stopped to check on the children and noticed the vehicle also had a flat tire, reported KWTX.
The passerby called 911, and a Bell County sheriff’s deputy responded to the scene.
Chavez suddenly appeared, jumped into the passerby's truck, and drove off.
