Hillsborough County deputies were busy yesterday.
When Reginald Cotton was pulled over for having too much windshield tinting on his car, he fled, leaving behind his two infants and a pill bottle filled with crack, deputies say.
Deputies shot Cotton, 30, with a Taser after a foot pursuit Saturday afternoon near U.S. Highway 301 and Sligh Avenue. He was arrested about 4:15 p.m.
When deputies looked into the car, they saw the children. When they searched under the driver's seat of Cotton's 1991 Chevrolet Caprice revealed a transparent pill bottle containing crack, an arrest affidavit shows.
He faces two felony counts of child neglect, a felony count of possessing cocaine with intent to sell and a felony count of driving with a revoked license.
Cotton, of 5711 N. 47th St., remains in Orient Road Jail, with bail set at $25,000.
There is no indication in a report what happened to the children.
