The 16-year-old was allegedly handcuffed and injured by APD police officers trying to serve a search and arrest warrant for someone living at his apartment complex.
The mother said she jumped into action and repeatedly told the police her son was not the person they were looking for. She said that is when police told her they identified him by his hair.She remembers being shocked and scared for her son. She said she continually tried to prove her son was not the suspect. She even asked to see the suspect’s photo, but she said police would not listen to her.
The teen said police grabbed and squeezed his shoulder forcing him to sit down. A move that caused an injury to his neck. Austin Police released two statements to FOX 7 Austin on the incident: "On June 7, 2023, APD officers served an arrest and search warrant at 1800 S IH 35. A juvenile individual who matched the description of the suspect was detained. The juvenile was not compliant with the officers resulting in minor use of force to assist in detaining the juvenile. No injuries were observed after this investigation. The juvenile was later released. As this incident is part of an ongoing investigation, we do not have any further information to provide.
"As the on-scene investigation continued, the juvenile's identity was confirmed not to be that of the suspect. No further information is available at this time." "They didn't even apologize and say sorry, or even let us know why they even grabbed him," said the mom."Why did [the police] not believe me? And it makes me feel like I can’t trust police to help or protect me," she said.that I have read and agree
