Released Video Of Jaxson Hayes’ Arrest Shows That Contrary To Official Reports, Not Hayes, But Police Was The Aggressor 

Last week, we reported that New Orleans Pelicans big man Jaxson Hayes was arrested in Los Angeles, following a brawl with Los Angeles Police.

During the brawl, Hayes got tasered and eventually taken into a hospital. The Pelicans were aware of the situation, while working on additional information. A report by TMZ then sheds some light on the case. They tased him for two and a half minutes.

“Police tell us they received a call for a “domestic dispute” around 2:50 AM Wednesday morning … and when they responded to the location of the alleged incident, officers say they made contact with Hayes in the front yard.

Cops say while talking to Jaxson, the 6’11” hooper attempted to go inside. They ordered him to stop, but he didn’t listen … and then things turned physical. Police claim Hayes pushed an officer into a wall.

LAPD says the 2 officers were able to get Jaxson to the ground, but he continued to resist — and attempted to get up. Police say a taser was deployed twice during the fight — which they say lasted “approximately 2 and a half minutes” before they were able to cuff Hayes.”

Now, TMZ released the video of Hayes arrest, filmed by his friend who was present and it looks nothing like LAPD claimed it to be. Sadly, police seemed to be the aggressor – not only against Hayed but also against his friend filming.
