Plummer, 36, was extradited from Maryland to Virginia to face the charges the commonwealth brought against him, which include the following: two counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of parental abduction, four counts of contributing to delinquency of a minor, and domestic assault. He had previously waived his right to an extradition hearing.

The charges are in connection to a series of alleged crimes that left a woman and four children injured—including an infant who died--according to police.

Police say on August 14, Plummer went to his ex-wife’s Virginia Beach home on Jay Are Court, stabbed his stepdaughter and his ex-wife, and took their three children.

The abduction prompted state police to issue an AMBER Alert for the three children, which included a description of Plummer and the vehicle he was driving.

On the morning of August 15, Plummer led police on a chase from Fairfax County, Virginia into Prince George’s County, police say. He ultimately crashed on I-495 with his kids in the car.

All three kids, aged 1, 5 and 7, were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, police say. Later that day, police confirmed that the 1-year-old girl did not survive.

It’s unclear when Plummer is due to court again.
