Description
The State Attorney's Office said the teen is no longer facing charges after he was accused of resisting arrest and hitting an officer.
10 Tampa Bay has obtained video of two police officers punching and using a Taser on a 16-year-old boy in an incident stemming from an argument during a Memorial Day pool party.
It’s another in a growing list of accusations of police brutality against the Lakeland Police Department.
“It’s disgusting how he was treated,” Ja’Tae Lewis said.
Lewis’ 16-year-old son, Jahmal Hudson, is the person in the video being punched and tased by Lakeland police. Witnesses to the altercation can be heard yelling to the officers letting them know Hudson is a minor.
