A 31-year-old Glen Burnie man whose car almost hit a police cruiser has been charged with drug possession and driving while intoxicated with a 4-year-old and a baby in the car.
Anne Arundel County police Saturday charged Joshua Stephen Osterholt with driving while intoxicated, possession of drugs with intent to distribute and reckless endangerment.
Police said Osterholt's vehicle almost struck a police cruiser, and authorities caught up with the vehicle in the 7800 block of Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard.
Inside the vehicle were Osterholt's two children—a 4-year-old and a 10-month-old, according to police.

Osterholt later tested for a .19 blood-alcohol content, police said. The legal limit in Maryland is .08.
