"Larry Chidester was asleep in his residence when he heard a loud bang or crash outside and exited to investigate the source of the noise,"
OK
"The officer pointed his firearm at Larry and started running towards him, yelling, 'There's one!,' " the document states.
OK
Despite the fact that Larry had his hands in the air and told the officer repeatedly "I'm not resisting," the suit states the SWAT member continued to run over or tackle him, "and shoved his face into the ground and rocks."
OK, got it
The suit claims Larry Chidester was later transported to the emergency room at Mountain View Hospital in Payson to be treated for injuries.
OK
Two officers then kicked open a side door of the home and entered Lawrence Chidester's bedroom as he was dressing, according to the suit.
What? I'm lost. I thought he was tackled outside?
"A law enforcement officer grabbed Lawrence and threw him to the floor ... the officer held a firearm to the back of Lawrence's head in the presence of his wife, Emily Chidester," the documents say.
This is a poorly written account of events...
Lawrence is the father. Larry is the son. It says that at the beginning of the article.
...the Chidester family, including Lawrence, his wife Emily and their adult son Larry
They swapped the given names and nicknames later in the story, which confused me for a bit, too. The son was the one getting dressed.
"the Chidester family, including Lawrence, his wife Emily and their adult son Larry"
The son, Larry, was outside, the dad, Lawrence, was inside.
One might have been a Jr. The article said he had an adult son that resided at the residence.
Larry is the adult son, lawerence is the dad.
