On seeing Brown again shortly after, he was ‘intentionally’ standing in the road, the report continued.
‘I walked to Brown and grabbed his sleeve of his right arm. I walked with Brown to the sideway,’ the report states.
The teenager then ‘engaged in fighting behavior’ and had to be taken to the ground and handcuffed.
The report continues that Slusher tried to pull the arresting cop off Brown. The pair were arrested and taken to Washington County Detention Center.
