A video allegedly depicts a guy using his one-year-old child as a shield after a recent confrontation with law officials in Flagler County, Florida. According to the arrest paperwork, Brandon Matthew Douglas Leohner, 27, is charged with resisting an officer during an arrest, aggravated assault, child abuse, kidnapping, and using a child as a human shield. The police have taken him into custody. The horrific bodycam video of the incident shot by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office shows Leohner clutching the infant in front of his chest. According to a press release, the issue began on September 27 at around 6 p.m. when they received a tip about a possible kidnapping involving a one-year-old. The Flagler County Sheriff's Office was called in response to the initial claims that Leohner had taken the child while toting a gun, then driven off with the youngster in his lap. Shortly later, deputies discovered a man rushing into oncoming traffic and driving through medians. The Flagler County Sheriff's Office said that despite efforts by authorities to stop the man, he fled the area at high speed. Eventually, according to Daily Mail, the 27-year-old pulled into a McDonald's parking lot and jumped out of the car while still carrying the child.Brandon Loehner Just outside the drive-thru window, Leohner is seen on bodycam video cradling the youngster tight to his chest as at least three deputies approach him. One of the deputies visible in the video is holding a police officer who is attached to a K-9 unit. Leohner is repeatedly ordered by law enforcement officials to place the child on the ground, but he resists. Put the baby down, put the kid down, yells one of the deputies. Leohner, however, keeps ignoring the requests given by the police. The cop whose bodycam video was made public is seen pointing his taser at the man while another deputy commands him to "get on the ground quickly." The child, who is only wearing a diaper and a shirt, is being lifted several feet off the ground while being gripped by one arm. Leohner keeps holding him in front of his chest and head as protection from the police. The deputy seen on body cam footage successfully uses a taser to subdue the man who is brought to the ground in front of a car in the drive-thru line by only a few inches. Deputies rush in to swiftly remove the child from Leohner's arms as the infant sobs "dada." The suspect manages to evade the deputies and run while still in the McDonald's parking lot until he is eventually tackled to the ground. At the conclusion of the arrest footage, a K-9 bites the guy as he begs them to stop.
