MIDLAND -- A Midland man is accused of driving drunk with a baby in his vehicle.
Ming Hlun was arrested on February 23rd.
Midland Police say that Hlun, 30, was spotted driving drunk near the intersection of Neely Avenue and Midland Drive around 1:50 PM on February 13th.
Officers followed Hlun to the Renaissance Apartments in the 4300 block of Neely Avenue.
Police say Hlun had trouble pulling into a parking spot in the area, and officers performed a field sobriety test on him.
Hlun reportedly failed the sobriety test, and he was promptly arrested.
Police reportedly noticed that a mostly empty can of Budweiser was lying behind the driver seat of the vehicle.
Officers say that Hlun's wife was riding in the vehicle with him, and a 5-month-old baby was sitting unrestrained in a backward-facing child safety seat.
Now, Hlun is charged with D.W.I. with a child under the age of 15 in his vehicle and assault by threat or contact.
As of Wednesday evening, Hlun was being held in the Midland County Detention Center on $25,000 bond.
