A good Samaritan in Tennessee saved a missing baby over the weekend.
The accused, Gerald Blair, the boyfriend of Maybrie’s mom, was reportedly fleeing after an alleged hit-and-run and went into the woods with Maybrie. On Saturday, James learned through a neighbor’s camera the two were by a creek outside his home, and he promptly took action, WTVF-TV reported.
Steven James told WTVF-TV how he came to encounter the man with the child, 1-year-old Maybrie Like. It all started Friday night, when the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued an alert about a missing child, and police asked to search James’ property.
“It was a kid,” James said of his decisive moves. “I’d do anything for a kid.”

The brave hero went out and confronted Blair, using his firearm in an attempt to end the standoff.
“I did hold him at gunpoint, just to kind of be threatening and take control of the situation,” James told the outlet. “I did tell him, ‘Give me the baby. I don’t care what you do. Just give me the baby.’”
He continued, “Actually, I think I was saying, ‘Put the baby down, and you walk back, and I’ll get the baby.’”
