Video captured a Florida man fleeing from police and holding an infant in front of himself as protection.
The confrontation with police left the man tased and finally arrested.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to a report from a Palm Coast woman last week that her boyfriend, Brandon Loehner, had abducted their 1-year-old son at gunpoint.
Deputies soon found Loehner driving recklessly nearby with the child in his lap, crossing over medians and speeding along a parkway.
Deputies said, “He refused to pull over after we made an attempt at a traffic stop and at one point he careened into oncoming traffic. He finally turned into a Target shopping center before parking near a McDonald’s drive-thru and exiting the vehicle with the boy still in his arms.”
Video footage shows Loehner refusing to put the child down while surrounded by deputies, including a K-9 unit, and backing up against the restaurant’s exterior.
After a short standoff, one of the deputies shot Loehner with a taser and he eventually fell to the ground.
An officer immediately rushed forward to pick up the infant, who had nothing on, but a diaper. The police officer comforted the crying child as he reached for his father and cried out for him.
Loehner continued to resist arrest before finally being subdued with the aid of the police dog.
“Here is a case of a domestic situation turning violent, putting a 1-year-old child and innocent drivers in danger,” said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly. “Deputies were confronted with a very chaotic situation and a very combative individual that was putting his child at risk by using the child as a shield. Our deputies did everything they could to quickly rescue this child safely from a madman and apprehend the suspect.”
The child and his mother were reunited and Loehner was treated for his injuries sustained from the K-9 unit dog.
He was arrested and charged with kidnapping, using a minor as a shield, resisting with violence, child neglect, fleeing and eluding and reckless driving.
Look at this coward, these bearded young progressives, he was probably spouting off to anyone who would listen how he loves Biden. They love murdering babies, because it’s his whore girlfriends choice.
