A man who threatened to kill his mother inside a car was arrested in Lakeside using GPS tracking Saturday afternoon, police said.
Officers were called about 11:45 a.m. to assist a neighboring agency with a domestic disturbance, Lakeside police said in a social media post.
Police said a 911 caller reported hearing a man screaming at a woman, “threatening to kill her.” The woman was later identified as the man’s mother.
Using GPS data from the woman’s phone, police determined she and the man appeared to be in a vehicle, police said.
Officer C. Thibodeaux, who did not have information regarding the make and model was able to intercept the vehicle, after seeing a woman in the back left seat of a black Nissan Rogue, “hanging out of the window and waving frantically in distress, screaming for help,” police said.
Thibodeaux stopped the car, arrested the man and rescued his mother and a small child who were inside, police said.
The man is facing charges of aggravated assault causing serious injuries and unlawful restraint. He also has had multiple felony warrants from the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, police said.
Police did not release the man’s name after his arrest.
“The actions of Officer C. Thibodeaux exemplifies the best of law enforcement professionalism and service and we would like to recognize his heroic actions,” Lakeside police department said in the post.
