Anthony Braddick Welsh was taken into custody on Tuesday night after surrendering on an unrelated warrant. Welsh was sought by police after he was witnessed riding his motorcycle on a public highway while his infant son straddled the fuel tank.
Two separate witnesses told Liberty County Sheriff’s Office investigators they observed Braddick riding the speeding motorcycle with his toddler son in tow on a highway in the Tarkington, TX., area.
