A 19-year-old St. Petersburg man has been charged with stealing the vehicle earlier this week that had a baby strapped in the backseat. 

Rashad Webb was taken into custody early Thursday in another stolen vehicle. 

Officers from the Violent Crimes Task Force spotted a stolen rented Toyota Corolla just before 2 a.m., but when they tried to stop it, the driver sped off. 

Officers were later able to deploy stop sticks and Webb ultimately stopped the vehicle in the 2200 block of 15th Avenue South and surrendered.

Webb was wanted for stealing a car with a baby inside on Monday from the Gateway on 4th Apartments. He said when he realized the baby was in the car, he dropped him off in the parking lot where the child was found.

Webb is facing charges of auto theft, fleeing and eluding, and no valid driver's license from Thursday's arrest.He is facing additional charges from a previous warrant, including: Child abuse, occupied vehicle burglary and auto theft.

Webb has been arrested 27 times in Pinellas County, dating back to 2009, when he was 10 years old.
