Following that accident, deputies say Guzman rear-ended a car at Veterans Memorial Drive and Bammel North Houston Road. He left the scene of the crash and ran off with his son, according to witnesses.

Deputies found Guzman at Willow Bend Apartments where they arrested him. EMS checked out the boy, who suffered lacerations from the second crash but is expected to be OK.

Guzman is charged with felony DWI with a child under the age of 15 and failure to render aid.
