NASHVILLE, Tenn. >> The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is probing why police officers in the town of Oakland kicked down the door of a 25-year-old Black man and violently arrested him on accusations of speeding and running a stop sign.
Outrage about the arrest began to spread as video posted on social media showed officers chasing Brandon Calloway through the home, attempting to stun him and beating him bloody before dragging him away.
According to a police affidavit, Calloway failed to stop at a stop sign Saturday. He then was clocked driving 32 mph in a 20 mph zone before an officer attempted a traffic stop. Calloway refused to pull over and continued driving until he reached a house.
The affidavit says that later Calloway and others were outside speaking with the officers when they said they needed to detain Calloway, and he ran back inside the house.
