Police report: Arrested Opa-locka cop beat wife, kids for years. He’s the mayor’s brother

An Opa-locka police sergeant arrested Tuesday night on three domestic abuse charges physically battered and threatened to kill family members for almost a decade, police said on Wednesday.

The wife of Johane Hendrik Taylor told police that several times dating back to 2014 her husband hit her with closed fists, once even breaking a rib and trying to drag her outside while she was unconscious. Another time, the woman’s mother told police, she saw Taylor hit one of her grandchildren over the head with a vacuum cleaner.

“The mother has alleged that the defendant has abused the children since the oldest child was three years of age and she is currently 13 years of age,” the arresting officer from the city or Miramar wrote in his report.

Taylor, 36, is the youngest son of former Opa-locka Mayor Myra Taylor and the brother of the city’s current Mayor John Taylor.
