| It all unfolded over the weekend in Oakland when police say they were trying to conduct a traffic stop. WREG obtained an affidavit for the incident from the Fayette County General Sessions Court. Oakland Police said on Saturday around 7:30 p.m., 25-year-old Brandon Calloway failed to stop at a stop sign and drove 32 mph in a 20 mph zone. Officers said when they tried to pull him over, he refused to stop and instead drove half a mile to his home and ââ¬Åstarted running into the house reaching into his pocketsââ¬Â¦ yelling ââ¬Åthis is my expletive house and I did stop for the stop sign.ââ¬Â His attorney Andre Wharton is disputing the allegations. ââ¬ÅIt was as if this was a retaliatory vindictive response to a situation that just got out of hand,ââ¬Â Wharton said. According to police, they had to kick in the door to gain entry to the house and eventually had to tase and use a baton to bring Calloway into custody. Wharton said Calloway is a college grad and entrepreneur who was completing a DoorDash order and unarmed during what he calls an animalistic assault. ââ¬ÅNothing unlawful about doing a DoorDash in a nice vehicle,ââ¬Â he said. ââ¬ÅThis happened in a very short time period but obviously for Brandon, it seemed like an eternity when you have batons and tasers in your face and youââ¬â¢re wondering why am I being beaten.ââ¬Â Oakland Police said Calloway was taken into custody after he was cleared for his injuries. The incident was captured on the officerââ¬â¢s body cameras along with an officerââ¬â¢s car camera. Posted by JR |
