A new video released on Friday had some more troubling details from the Jaxson Hayes arrest.

While he was wrestled to the ground, Hayes can be heard telling officers that he couldn’t breathe.

It definitely looks like police officers might have taken it too far with Jaxson Hayes here.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore told press that the Hayes case involves “the possibility of force being applied to the suspect’s neck during the use of force in taking him into custody.”

We’ll await any more information on this troubling case.
