It was supposed to be a weekend trip to celebrate high school graduation, but it turned into something far more traumatic.
A group of eight teens from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who’d traveled three hours to the beachfront town of Ocean City, Maryland, were walking on the boardwalk Saturday evening when police approached them about the local vaping ordinance at least one of them was allegedly violating.
According to the release, officers told the group about the ordinance after seeing them vaping, but as they walked away, one of the teens, Brian Anderson, 19, allegedly started vaping again. Officers approached the group again and after asking for the teen’s identification and being rebuffed, they said Anderson became “disorderly” and resisted arrest when police tried to detain him for not providing his identification and violating the local ordinance.
Burden said she didn’t know much more about what happened aside from what her son had told her and what she’d seen in the videos. “It’s really hard for me to talk about it because it is very disturbing and it’s heartbreaking.” She said Anderson is “in a lot of pain.” One of the teens, whose name is still unclear, was tased according to social media footage, after a scuffle with police.
