A Florida man used an infant as a human shield, refusing to hand over the child during a contentious traffic stop Monday night, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they pulled over 31-year old Zachary Taylor McKinney on Interstate 10 due to concerns about a child custody issue but he wouldn’t obey commands and he appeared to be on drugs.
McKinney used the baby as a human shield until the Special Tactics Team was able to get the infant and take McKinney into custody, records show.
After the incident McKinney was taken to the hospital once he was released police say he attempted to scratch, bite and kick officers on the way to jail. He had to be taken back to the hospital due to his vitals being so high. While he was in the hospital he choked and attacked a medical staff member.
