JEFFERSON COUNTY — A 5-year-old girl jumped out of a vehicle after a high-speed pursuit on Friday, November 12.
According to WBRC 6 News, Taylor Lashawn Hampton, 32, of Birmingham, was driving with a revoked driver’s license and reportedly had some outstanding warrants when Pleasant Grove officers attempted to stop Hampton.

When police were eventually able to stop Hampton, a 5-year-old girl jumped out of the car and began to run.
