Police in Michigan City, Indiana just released bodycam video of an incident involving officers and a man who is now seriously injured.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. -- Police in Michigan City released bodycam video of an officer-involved incident that left a man seriously injured.Police said the incident began Tuesday because the man matched the description of someone involved in a report of a suspicious vehicle.
The 18-minute bodycam video shows an interaction from April 5. In it, we see officers stop Kelly as they are searching for what they said was a suspicious vehicle chasing two men on foot, indicating one of the two men might be armed. "Son, what's your real name?" the officer asks."Because now you're working your way into something else.""So you still lied. Your name is Benson or Kelly?" the officer says."Why did you take your wife's name?" the officer asks.
His family, however, insists there is more to it, releasing a graphic hospital photo showing the severity of Kelly's facial injuries. The family did not address the police department's claim that they recovered a weapon from Kelly, which is also shown in the video and which police said Kelly did not have a permit to carry.
"Two different individuals share with the officer who tased Tahir that Tahir wasn't the person they were looking for and yet he got tased," said Cannon Lambert, an attorney with Karchmar & Lambert, P.C.
