Police arrest a truck driver after he evades police and puts a young child in danger.

Authorities attempted to pull over the driver of an 18-wheeler on mines road Monday afternoon.

Police say 38-year-old Adolfo Torres from San Juan, Texas continued driving and would not stop for officers.

When Torres finally did stop, officers discovered a six-year-old boy inside the truck.

It's not clear why Torres allegedly attempted to evade police or if the child was properly restrained.

Torres faces charges of evading arrest and endangering a child.
