An armed carjacking suspect was arrested Friday morning driving drunk in a stolen vehicle with his wife and two young kids in the car with him. 

An FHP report said 25-year-old Taylor Foster of Largo was driving a stolen 2011 Chevrolet Impala involved in a recent carjacking. After an alert from Pinellas Park police, troopers spotted the car and pulled him over on I-4 near mile marker 6.
