However, that did not happen. The dash cam footage caught the whole incident. James got out of the car and was ordered to the ground. The officer was yelling at him and he was worried he was going to be shot. James was cuffed. In the footage, you can hear Dana yelling in pain.

She was shocked at what was happening. James tried to explain his situation, but they yelled at him for not pulling over. After 20 minutes, the ambulance finally arrived to get Dana. Only three minutes after getting to the hospital, Dana gave birth to a baby girl.

The baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck two times according to NBC News. If she hadn’t made it to the hospital in time, it could have ended badly. While his wife was giving birth, James was at the jail being arrested for not pulling over. He missed the birth of his daughter.
