Student on the Ground
Jonathan Villareal, 17, pulled his pants low on his hips after school ended one day in Derby, Kansas. School resource officers spotted him and ordered him to pull his pants back up. Villareal said he could wear them any way he wanted because school was out. Villareal says they then threw him to the ground. Derby Police Chief Robert Lee says Villareal resisted when officers tried to take him back in the school. Regardless, the confrontation ended with Villareal getting Tasered and having his arm broken and his eye swollen shut.
