On April 30th, a Florida deputy <\/span>helped<\/span><\/a> bring a baby into the world roadside\u2026 for the third time! <\/span><\/p>\n

According to a <\/span>press release<\/span><\/a> from the <\/span>Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Master Deputy Daniel \u201cRed\u201d Jones was approached by a distraught father, requesting assistance for his laboring wife. The couple\u2019s vehicle was pulled over on the shoulder of Highway 60 in Plant City, a small town 45 miles east of St. Petersburg, Florida. After radioing for help from the <\/span>Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Deputy Jones <\/span>rushed<\/span><\/a> to the woman\u2019s side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bodycam footage shows that Jones, who has been on the Hillsborough County police force since 2001, found the woman lying across the passenger seat in the vehicle. He quickly assessed the situation, learned that the woman was full-term and said, \u201cShe\u2019s ready to go!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

As she moaned in pain, he encouraged her to \u201cbreathe through it.\u201d As he held her hand, the woman confirmed her water had already broken. When he asked her if this was her first baby, she responded that her sixth was on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n
