Officers Take Down Boyfriend Charged with Kidnapping, Using Child as a SHIELD

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office released body camera footage of officers detaining Brandon Loehner, who is charged with kidnapping his girlfriend’s one-year-old child, using a minor as a shield, resisting with violence, child neglect, fleeing and eluding, and reckless driving. Following a car chase, officers confronted Loehner in a McDonald’s parking lot. After the suspect refused to release the child, officers used a taser and eventually a K9 to subdue him.
