PCSO: On Thursday, October 10th, at around 3:07 am, we received a 911 call about a young pregnant woman going into labor….while Hurricane Milton was still beating down on Polk County.

Because of the high winds, ambulances were unable to transport people.

PCSO deputies responded to the residence and met Zenia and Javier, the expecting parents.

Deputy Calderin assisted Zenia and Javier into her patrol car and they made their way to the hospital, while deputies Jones and Goolsby drove one of their relatives there.

Our deputies went back to the hospital later in the day to check up on everyone and learned that Zenia gave birth to a baby girl named Jade at about 1:30 pm.

Congratulations, Zenia and Javier!
