Brandon Foster, one of the bikers who filmed the altercation, shared the video to Facebook. He shared that he and the group had stopped in the area because three members in the party used to live in the area.

'We stopped at the end in the cul-de-sac to plan our route home and to stretch,' he said in a comment under the department's post. 'We were there for a few minutes.'

Several of the others can be heard saying to call the authorities to the scene.

'You'll definitely go to jail for shooting me, I am a federal officer,' one of the men in the group can be heard telling Dennis.
