It's April 8th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Tampa Bay News today. Your AI-powered local news. A 28-year-old man named Brandon Andrews landed in handcuffs in Clearwater, Florida on Sunday after going after his girlfriend over her. Buying life insurance. Clearwater cops hit him with charges like aggravated assault and armed kidnapping right away. Things escalated quick when he strangled her first, then whipped out a handgun and aimed it right at her face. He kept her pinned at gunpoint, blocking her from checking on their child in the other room. She fought back smart, bolting to the kitchen to snag a bag holding her own gun. When he demanded it, she chucked the whole bag his way to create some space. Later at the station, Andrews claimed he felt like someone was watching the whole mess and that God had some bigger plan in mind. That landed him extra charges for domestic battery by strangulation and robbery too. He's got him locked down tight now, piecing together more details while the victim and
kids stay safe from the fallout.
