The incident reportedly took place on March 30th in River Ridge, La. The encounter was recorded by Banegas who then posted the footage on Facebook two days after.
Breaux told the Times-Picayune that he has seen both of the arresting deputies before at the complaining neighbor’s house and he believes they are friends, stating, ”These are personal friends. I wish I had friends that I could call and have them handle personal vendettas that I have with my neighbors.”
Meanwhile, Breaux was eventually taken in to police custody and was slapped with a slew of charges: battery of a police officer, resisting arrest with violence, disorderly conduct, and disturbing the peace.
Breaux is trying to obtain an attorney to represent him and is livid about the situation that occurred, showing that citizens never seem to get a fair shake when they’re up against police abuse, ”I’m pretty pissed about the situation,” he said. “I feel this is wrong because they do this all the time and nobody ever has it on video. I feel it’s a problem with the police and people not knowing their rights.”
The Times-Picayne contacted the sheriff’s office and they have offered no comments regarding the video.
