I read that he was driving under the influence and resisting arrest so he was tased and pepper sprayed but now I am hearing his attorney is claiming the police used excessive force.

(7,510 posts)The Michigan lawmaker was brought up on obstruction and weapons charges and was seen resisting arrest in dashcam footage during the traffic stop, in which he is also accused of trying to use his position as a lawmaker to get out of the arrest, saying he would call Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on them during the stop.
MIRS obtained the full police report and shared it with FOX 2 (Note to readers, in order to access the MIRS story, a subscription is required). In the report, Rep. Jewell Jones (D-Inkster) was holding up a female passenger near the passenger side door of the vehicle.
A paramedic on scene had observed the woman's pants were down and Jones' pants were partially down, according to the report.
The woman was eventually placed in an ambulance after it was determined she was unable to stand on her own, had vomited, and was essentially unresponsive.
