Milwaukee’s chief of police said officers “acted inappropriately” during a January arrest of Bucks guard Sterling Brown, that included use of a stun gun, and apologized to the NBA player.
Chief Alfonso Morales’ apology came as the department released body-camera footage of the arrest, which occurred around 2 a.m. on Jan. 26 in a Walgreens parking lot. Brown was tased and arrested during a routine parking violation, Morales said. No charges were ever filed against Brown.
“The department conducted an investigation into the incident, which revealed members acted inappropriately and those members were recently disciplined,” Morales said at a brief news conference Wednesday.
The video released by police shows the officer pulling up to a Mercedes sedan parked horizontally across two handicapped parking spots. As the officer gets out of his cruiser, Brown can be seen walking out of the Walgreens and toward his car. At one point the officer tells Brown to back up and a verbal altercation ensues between the two, the video shows.
