Family wants police officer held accountable.(news)
BYLINE: GLENN PUIT REVIEW-JOURNAL
It was an allegation of illegal skateboarding that ended with a gun drawn, a woman pepper sprayed and an entire family in jail.
This series of events actually happened to Las Vegans Teresa McDowell, her husband, Zachary, and her son, Chris Hamilton, at their home in June.
According to police reports, Las Vegas police officer Timothy Nelson attempted to arrest Chris Hamilton after the two exchanged words over Hamilton skateboarding on Upland Boulevard, near Jones and Charleston boulevards.
The situation escalated, leading to Teresa McDowell being pepper sprayed in the face and the entire family being arrested.
This week, the family's attorney, Jonathan MacArthur, said all seven charges filed against the family have been dismissed. The McDowells say they were arrested by an overly aggressive officer, and they now want Las Vegas police to hold him accountable.
"The police clearly acted inappropriately," MacArthur said.
