In the camera footage, Redenbaugh is seen offering a fist bump to officers, who helped provide life-saving instructions to the couple before medical personnel arrived.

After Redenbaugh's wife Danielle gave birth, they wrapped their baby in Redenbaugh's red T-shirt as EMS and fire crews tended to the pair.

The sheriff's office shared an update to Facebook on Tuesday, writing, "Both mother and baby are doing great! Congratulations to the Redenbaugh Family!"
