Brutal Arrest of NBA Player Jaxson Hayes Captured on Video29 August 21
Police arrived at the New Orleans Pelicans player's Woodland Hills home on July 28 after receiving a call from his girlfriend's cousin, who was not named. The cousin told police she'd received texts that Hayes was loud and violent, the Associated Press reported. Once police arrived, Hayes told them he got into an argument with his girlfriend, who began throwing things at him. Officers said they had to enter to interview the girlfriend and asked Hayes and his cousin to wait outside. The video shows Hayes arguing with the responding officers. Hayes can be seen shoving one of the officers against a wall. A police officer then tases the 6-foot-11, 220-pound player as he resists being pinned to the ground. The officer repeatedly yelled:" Stop resisting or I'm gonna tase you!" Hayes screams that he can't breathe, but the officer keeps telling him to stop resisting, to which Hayes replies: "I'm stopping, bro!" |
