Markeith Loyd, 41, was arrested in Orlando on Tuesday night when he crawled from an abandoned home where he had been hiding following a nine-day manhunt

Police have released aerial footage of the moment an alleged Florida cop killer was arrested, which appears to show officers kicking him as he laid on the ground.

Markeith Loyd, 41, was arrested in Orlando on Tuesday night when he crawled from an abandoned home where he had been hiding following a nine-day manhunt.

He is accused of shooting dead Orlando Lt. Debra Clayton on January 9 outside a Walmart as she tried to apprehend him over the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon on December 13.

Police said Loyd resisted arrest on Tuesday and that force was used to bring him.

Loyd, who was hospitalized due to injuries sustained in his arrest, was pictured in his mugshot with a battered face and a bandage over his eye.

Police helicopter footage shows Loyd crawling from the home on his stomach before officers surround him and appear to kick him in the head several times.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina said a use of force investigation is underway over the arrest. He said Loyd was wearing body armor at the time and officers were concerned he could have been hiding something inside.

Mina said Loyd resisted arrest by not putting his hands behind his back. He added that they found a large bag of ammunition beneath him.

Loyd appeared with his eye bandaged and flanked by two police officers in an Orlando courtroom on Thursday to face the charges where he screamed 'f*** you' at the judge.

'They done took my eye, broke my nose, broke my jaw,' Loyd complained, swearing as he described crawling out to the road to be arrested.

He claims he didn't resist arrest.

'I crawled out to the mother*****g road, so how did I resist?' he said.

'I didn't resist s***. They just did that s*** and tried to hide it from the news people, but I'm here right now.'

Loyd has been charged with first-degree murder and the unlawful killing of an unborn child in the December 13 death of ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon.

He is also accused of fatally shooting the cop but has not yet been charged.

Loyd spoke out of turn and told the judge 'F*** you!' during the appearance on charges of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend

He declared that many of the accusations against him are 'made up' and complained that he was roughed up during his arrest  

Most suspects appear with a lawyer and remain silent while the judge reads the charges in these initial hearings. But Loyd said he planned to represent himself, and stridently disputed the charges. 

'First of all, I got questions to ask,' he said before launching into the rant.

The judge told him: 'You're here for first appearances on a warrant, sir.'

'Y'all making up s***,' Loyd said. 'Like I just went in there and shot this girl. Y'all portray this s*** to the news people like I just went in and shot this girl.'

'Other guns were found on the scene. A gun was pulled on me first,' he claimed. 

Local television stations showed Loyd with a bloodied face when a half-dozen officers and deputies took him into police headquarters on Tuesday. 

He told a crowd that authorities had 'beat him up'.

Loyd was hospitalized until Wednesday night before he was jailed. 

'I believe that our entire community is going to breathe a sigh of relief at this point,' Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said after Loyd was taken into custody.

'They will sleep better knowing tonight that...this maniac is off the streets.'

Orange County Judge Jeanette Bigney ordered Loyd held without bond.

In court, Loyd dismissed any notion of guilt in Dixon's death.

'Her little brother got dropped off while me and her were standing there talking. There was all other kinds of s*** that happened,' he said.

The judge cautioned him several times that the hearing wasn't the forum for such an outburst, but he continued anyway.

Bigney then confirmed that Loyd was speaking under oath, and said 'everything you say is being recorded, sir.'

'I'm not finished talking because y'all been making up s*** the whole time,' Loyd responded. 'And then y'all make stuff about my family, lock them up.'

He went on to speak in defense of three people who were arrested as accomplices for allegedly helping him evade arrest — and placed himself at the Walmart store where the officer was shot.  

'I received nothing from nobody. I went to Walmart myself to buy food nobody was doing nothing for me,' he said. 

'Wasn't nobody doing nothing for me.'

At that point, the judge interrupted him. 'Sir, we are here addressing only one case.'

Law enforcement said that authorities surrounded a house at 1157 Lescot Lane in Metro West Orlando and ordered Loyd to surrender Tuesday just before 7pm

Loyd was wanted in connection for the murder of Dixon and allegedly shot Clayton when she received a tip that he was at the Walmart parking lot and approached him. 

After the officer's shooting, police arrested three people for aiding Loyd in escaping capture after allegedly killing Dixon on December 13.

Another officer, Deputy Norman Lewis, was killed in a motorcycle accident when he joined in the manhunt for Loyd. 

Loyd was seen being escorted out of the Orlando Police Department on Tuesday extremely bloodied, with bandages covered his eyes, head, and left cheek.

Mina said Clayton, 42, was a 'committed' officer and 'a hero' who gave her life to the community she loves.

'To put her handcuffs on the bad guy that she was trying to catch when she was killed was significant and meaningful to her family, its meaningful to her OPD family as well,' he said.  

She was married and had a college-aged son. She also grew up in the Orlando area, and enjoyed mentoring young people.
