INJURED AND THE TOWN HAS BEEN
EVACUATED.
NOWHERE TO WHAT STARTED THAT
FIRE.> AND I TEAM EXCLUSIVE,
THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE
ARREST OF A YOUTH HOCKEY COACH
EDDIE ICE RINK.
THEY TASED THE MAN AND
ARRESTED HIM FOR NO REASON.
THEY RECORDED THE INCIDENT ON
THEIR CELL PHONES AND NOW
SHOWING US HOW INVESTIGATORS
HANDLE THAT CALL.
Reporter: IT WAS CHAOS,
DOZENS OF PARENTS AND KIDS
YELLING THAT HE DID NOTHING
WRONG.
IS THE NEW HAMPSHIRE POLICE
OFFICERS GRABBED THE YOUTH
HOCKEY COACH AND PUSHED INTO
THE GROUND AND TASED HIM
SEVERAL TIMES.
AND KNEW HOW IT WOULD END, I
COULD HEAR MY WIFE SCREAMING.
HE WAS FACEDOWN IN THE LOBBY
OF THE ICE RINK.
FOR OFFICERS WERE ON TOP OF
HIM, TWO OF THEM USED THEIR
TASERS ON THE 45-YEAR-OLD.
WITNESSES STARTED RECORDING ON
THEIR CELL PHONES.
AS AN OFFICER TOOK OUT THEIR
FLASHLIGHT AND POINTED IT AT
THEM.
IT HAPPENED IN DECEMBER, TWO
RIVAL YOUTH HOCKEY TEAMS
PLAYING EACH OTHER.
THERE WAS A REFEREE WHO IS
HECKLING THE KIDS IN A LITTLE
BIT OF VERBAL BACK AND FORTH
GOING ON WITH A FEW OF THE
PARENTS.
THERE WAS NO FIGHTING.
THERE WAS NO PUNCHES, NOTHING.
BUT SOMEONE MADE THIS CALL
TO POLICE.
THERE IS A FIGHT BETWEEN
SEVERAL PARENTS.
OFFICERS RESPONDED TO THE
RANK AND WITNESSES WE SPOKE TO
SAY THEY NEVER SAID A WORD AND
SEEMED TO SINGLE OUT HIM.
IS A GOOD SAMARITAN IN THIS
IS WHAT HE GOT FOR.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR FAMILY
THAT MAKE OUR PARENT AND THE
OTHER PARENT THAT WERE HAVING
THE ARGUMENT.
AND THIS PLACED HIMSELF BETWEEN
THEM AND TRY TO CALM HIMSELF --
THEM DOWN.
THIS MAN DID NOTHING WRONG.
FELT LIKE IF YOU OPEN THEIR
MOUTH, YOU WOULD ARREST --
ARRESTED TWO.
-- too.
THE CAME IN AND SAID NOTHING
ABOUT WHO THEY WERE OR WHY THEY
WERE HERE.
THE RECORDED THE INCIDENT
GOT IN ONE THE ANNOUNCED
ANNOUNCED SALEM PLEASE COME
BACK OFF.
DID HE SAY ANYTHING?
ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE.
IT WAS FOR HIM AND HE WAS
NOT FIGHTING BACK OR ANYTHING.
THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THAT.
MY CLIENT WAS ASSAULTED THAT
THEY BY THE POLICE.
THAT IS CLEAR.
HE REPRESENTS BOB WHO IS
CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING POLICE
OFFICERS AND RESISTING ARREST.
IT WAS BROUGHT AT THAT
DISTRICT, BUT HE WAS INDICTED
AND MORE SERIOUS CHARGES.
I THINK THEY ARE DOUBLING
DOWN, TRYING TO INTIMIDATE HIM
INTO RESOLVING ME MATTER AND
THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE
INTERESTED IN DOING.
THEY CROSSED A LINE WHEN MY
CLIENT IS BEING TASED SIX OR
SEVEN TIMES IN FRONT OF
CHILDREN.
HE SAID HE DID NOTHING WRONG
AND SUSPENDED FROM COACHING
WHILE HE WAITS FOR HIS DAY IN
COURT.
MY KIDS WERE CRYING, IT WAS
DIFFICULT.
VERY DIFFICULT.
THEY SAID THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL REVIEWED AND FOUND NO
COME ALONG DOING -- NO CRIMINAL
WRONGDOING ON THE POLICE PICK
BUT JUST WEEKS AGO, THE SALEM
TOWN MANAGER HIRED AN OUTSIDE
AGENCY TO AUDIT THE POLICE
