Footage of Pelicans Center Jaxson Hayes Being Tased by the Cops in His Own Home Released

Few days ago, New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes was reported arrested and got hospitalized after being tased by the cops on his own own.

This week, footage of him being tased by the cops on his own home was released.


Hayes was reportedly released after bailing out for a $25,000 bond. Now, the police officers are under investigation for an excessive force and injuries sustained by the former lottery pick.


«Officers made contact with a male, later identified as 21-year old Jaxson Hayes, in the front yard of a residence,» an LAPD statement said. «It was later determined that Hayes is (a) professional basketball player for the National Basketball Association. Officers informed Hayes they received a call at the location and needed to speak with the victim, but requested Hayes remain outside while they did so.

«Body worn video captured Hayes repeatedly attempting to enter the residence despite officers blocking his path and verbal commands for him to remain outside,» police said. «Officers requested a backup and they attempted to place Hayes' hands behind his back; however, Hayes broke free of the officers' grasp and pushed one of the officers into a wall.»

«Once on the ground, Hayes attempted to get up and continued resisting officers,» police said. «Officers utilized two deployments of the taser, as well as body weight and physical force during the altercation, which lasted for approximately two and a half minutes before officers were able to handcuff Hayes.
