Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said during a press conference that, during the pursuit, the mother used Facetime to speak with Flanagan and try to get him to stop, but he refused.Deputies received information from dispatchers that family members informed them the child was still in the vehicle, and he was physically abusing the child.
Law enforcement personnel from multiple area agencies assisted in stopping Flanagan’s vehicle, and the pursuit came to an end after he attempted to drive through a field and his vehicle broke down. Once the car stopped, negotiators were able to contact Flanagan and learned the child was in"pretty bad shape," Gonzalez said.
