A man who police say streamed the abduction of his grandmother live on Facebook appeared in court Friday.
Joshua Brackenridge, 31, is charged with abduction, unlawful restraint and domestic violence in the incident which occurred Thursday.
Investigators said Brackenridge got into his grandmother's car in Harrison and forced her to drive him around while he recorded himself.
In the Facebook video, Brackenridge quotes Bible verses and claims his family is conspiring against him.
"My family... was trying to use my mental illnesses against me to try to get me to kidnap my grandma and kill her," he said. "But I don't have the heart to kill her."
During the course of the video, police said he hit his grandmother.
He claims his family stole money from him, and also railed against Hamilton County judges. He said he spent seven years in the Hamilton County Justice Center as well as additional times in state prison and halfway houses.
Wearing a cross necklace, he said he expected the police to storm the car at any moment.
"You don't have to tackle me. You don't have to tase me," Brackenridge said to the camera. "If you're going to do anything shoot me."
He thanked the 12 people who were watching the video live. Since yesterday, the video has been viewed 4,000 times.
Police did apprehend Brackenridge soon after the video stopped. His grandmother was not seriously injured.
Brackenridge was arraigned in Hamilton County Municipal Court Friday. He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $76,000 bond.
In July, he pleaded guilty to attempting to violate a protection order and, in a separate incident, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was found by police dancing in the middle of Interstate 275, and it took four officers to carry him into a police cruiser.
