A video obtained by WFLA shows two Lakeland police officers punching a teenage boy and using a Taser on him as they tried to get him to leave an apartment complex.
According to an arrest report, the officers were called to a pool at the Caroline Apartments along Griffin Road on Memorial Day after someone called to report that there were people there who didn’t live at the complex. The report said the manager told police to trespass anyone who didn’t live there.
Police said the 16-year-old didn’t provide them with an apartment number and did not identify himself, and was verbally trespassed from the property. He left the pool to get his belongings, according to the report. Read more at www.wfla.com.
