in a car chase may have been strangled to death by him rather than having died by blunt force trauma in the car.

Flanagan claimed the child, who was not restrained by a seatbelt or car seat, hit the vehicle’s dashboard during the 30-mile chase, according to court records. Nearly 48 hours later, the father appeared in the 337th District Court wearing a yellow jail jumpsuit, indicating that authorities have deemed him an inmate who requires maximum security.

Sawtelle outlined Flanagan’s past brushes with law enforcement — including a juvenile arrest. At age 14, he assaulted his 7-year-old brother, who is autistic.
