CBS: On April 30, Tappahannock police Sgt. Everett Woolums stopped Churchill's sons while they were riding their bicycles. 19-year-old Brian and his 21-year-old brother Brandon were heading to the trailer park where they live when they were stopped for having improper lights on their bikes.
"They were like 'we're on our way home' and he was like 'get off the d-a-m bikes,'" Churchill said her sons told her.
Tappahannock police Chief Jim Barrett told CBS 6 that the boys ran from Woolums and that the pursuit briefly became physical. Barrett said it also became clear to Sgt. Woolums that the boys had mental disabilities.
"He had him by his arm and kept wrenching his arm and he broke his arm, he broke his arm in two places," Churchill said about her son, Brandon.
The boys got away, made it home and their mom called for an ambulance. The chief says Sgt. Woolums learned of that call and, without a warrant, went into the boys' home and arrested both of them for obstructing justice.
