Florida Teen Falls To The Ground After Being Tased By State Trooper at His Girlfriend’s Home
The officer is heard telling Rodeman to put his hands behind his back.
Rodeman is heard telling the officer “I didn’t do nothing…” Then he was tased.
“I mean my son was just standing there on his phone,” Rodeman’s mother told the news outlet. “He wasn’t reaching in his pockets. The officer there was no threat to that officer.”
According to CBS 12, teen will be in custody for 21 days.
The teen has been charged with failure to obey a police officer, possession of medical marijuana, and obstruction without violence. The teen’s mother, Kristina, was first able to see her son on June 23, and says he’s still in pain, adding that this incident “didn’t need to happen.”
‘I’m going after him for excessive force,’ the mother told USA Today. “I’ve read about things they have to follow or abide by also and from what I’m seeing he had no right to do that. They have rules they have to go by, too. I don’t want this to happen to another child.”
Her lawyer, Derek Tyler, says they plan to “vigorously defend all of the charges, and we are also going to vigorously pursue every legal avenue available regarding the unmitigated, unjustified torture that he was subjected to by the officer involved.”
