Man accused of kidnapping son, leading authorities on chase pleads not guilty to charges

GREENE COUNTY, Iowa (KTIV) - A western Iowa man, who’s charged with kidnapping his son and leading authorities on a high-speed chase that ended in a northwest Iowa farm field, has pleaded not guilty in the case.

One week ago, on Jan. 30, 34-year-old Brandon Duong allegedly kidnapped his son from a Jefferson, Iowa, elementary school, sparking an AMBER Alert.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety says Duong led authorities on a chase that ended when his truck crashed on a gravel road, east of Remsen, Iowa.

His child was found safe after his arrest.

Court documents show Brandon Duong has pleaded not guilty to a charge of second-degree kidnapping.

Duong is also accused of violating a custodial order.

He’ll be arraigned on Feb. 19, in Greene County.
