Bradenton Cop Arrested for Child Abuse

0:00Bradenton Police just sidelined one of their own after a felony child abuse arrest shook things up. 29-year-old officer Nicholas Lehman got booked into Manatee County jail on April 22nd, facing a warrant out of Hillsborough County. For an off-duty run-in with one of his kids, the department dropped a strong statement, saying they demand top-notch behavior from everyone, on or off the clock, and this mess flies against there. A whole mission to keep the community safe. Lehman only joined the force back in October 2022, so he's still pretty new to the badge. Investigators are still digging, but right now, he's off the streets in uniform while this plays out. Local news, powered by AI. This is Tampa Bay News Today.
