Police Officers Deliver Baby At Gas Station

Boy Named Jesus By Parents, Police Say

POSTED: 5:42 pm PDT September 2, 2008
UPDATED: 6:57 pm PDT September 2, 2008

Two police officers delivered a baby boy at a Chevron gas station in Modesto, Calif., TV station KCRA reported.

Around 11 a.m., officers Steve Anderson and Ben Kroutil were waved down by a frantic Jose Blanco.

Blanco brought the officers to his car that was parked at a Chevron gas station parking lot where his wife Brenda Resendes was in labor.

The officers noticed that the baby had already been partially delivered and assisted with the successful delivery of a baby boy, police said.

Blanco told officers he was looking for a hospital but had a difficult time finding it.

The boy was named Jesus Blanco Resendes.

Fire officials soon arrived on the scene to provide medical care, and allowed Blanco the honor of cutting his child's umbilical cord.

The mother and baby were transported to a local hospital, but Officers Anderson and Kroutil felt they had another task to complete. They went to a local Target and purchased baby clothes for Jesus, police said.
