Charges against the retired police officer include false imprisonment by violence, kidnapping, and unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering on a child.

The altercation on the tidy, suburban street in Anaheim apparently began with a complaint common in many neighborhoods: a group of teenagers walking through a neighbor’s yard on their way home from school.

The boy told police that Taylor said he was going to drive him to his parents’ house and that if he ever pranked him again, he would “put a bullet in his head.”Taylor, a 33-year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department, then dropped the child nearby, and the boy ran home to his parents, who called police.

When police arrived at Taylor’s home to question him, he told officers he had chased the children and had told one of the boys he would take him home. He denied grabbing the child around the neck or threatening to kill him, police said. Taylor faces up to 11 years in state prison if convicted as charged, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Leon S. Kousharian.
