Bodycam footage shows a Georgia police officer pulling over a man for speeding, then following the motive force to his home and shocking him with a stun gun simply to retrieve a pen.
WSB-TV reports that the incident occurred in December 2023 when a Greenville police officer stopped 30-year-old Corriyon Bray for speeding.
Corriyon Bray, 30, says he plans to sue Georgia cops who followed him to his home, tasered him and broke his leg after accusing him of taking the pen he used to sign a speeding ticket. (Photo: WSB-TV)
Body camera footage shows the officer handing Bray a traffic ticket and a pen to sign. After signing the ticket, Bray keeps his pen and drives away.
The officer could be heard yelling at Bray to present him the pen.
“That mother (expletive). He stole my (expletive) pen!” – the officer shouted within the recording obtained by WSB-TV.
The officer and a Meriwether County sheriff’s deputy followed Bray to his home and met him outside, where the officer demanded a pen.
“Give me back my pen and then you go to jail,” the officer tells Bray.
“I don’t have your pen,” Bray shouts back.
“Give it to me or I’ll burn you,” the officer says on camera.
The officer takes out his Taser and points it at Bray. Moments later, Tasers Officer Bray and a deputy force him to the bottom.
“I can’t feel my leg, bro,” Bray said because the deputy pinned him down.
Bray was arrested and taken into custody. The police charged him with obstructing work and theft by stealing.
“If he had complied, none of this would have happened,” Greenville Police Chief Wayne Frazier said. “Our standard operating procedures say it is oral, practical, less lethal and lethal, and he followed protocol.”
When Frazier was asked whether the officer must have used Bray’s Taser, Frazier replied, “Well, I can’t answer that question because I wasn’t there.”
Bray told WSB-TV that his leg was broken in two places in the course of the incident and he continues to be in pain almost five months after the night of the arrest.
“I believe it was about showing power. I believe that is what it was all about,” Bray said. “It wasn’t right.”
The identities of the officer and deputy have not yet been released. Bray’s attorney plans to file a lawsuit.
