Wow, putting your own 2-year-old in harm’s way to escape the police. This guy actually has scumbag drug dealers saying, “Man, that’s messed up.”

With a Taser pointed at him, a LaPorte man barricaded inside his home grabbed his 2-year-old daughter early Tuesday and used her as a shield.

“That’s pretty sad,” said LaPorte Police Chief of Detectives Clyde Crass.

“We’re talking about a 2-year-old child who I’m sure was frightened,” he said.

Child neglect and battery to a police officer were among the charges leveled against Brandon Hockman.
