Elsy was taken by her parents, Ashley Ardolino, 39, and Luis Novelo-Rojas, 35, after an argument with the baby's grandmother in Pueblo West on Tuesday night. 

Denver police confirm that Novelo-Rojas was arrested on Wednesday night after Denver police tracked what they believed to be a stolen vehicle in the area of East Colfax Avenue and North Unita Street. Officers attempted a traffic stop but the driver sped away and was finally stopped in the 6700 block of Fenton Street in Arvada. That's when Novelo-Rojas was apprehended and booked into the Denver County Jail. 

Novelo-Rojas is facing several charges including obstructing a peace officer and driving after revocation- prohibited and an investigative hold for motor vehicle theft and vehicular eluding. 

Ardolino was arrested on Thursday morning at Motel 6 in the Central Park area of Denver in a separate incident. That's when the baby was located in a motel room and then taken to the hospital where she was deemed to be in good health.
