A Black man plans on seeking legal action after he claims two Georgia cops followed him home, tased him, and broke his leg over a ballpoint pen. According to WSB-TV, a Greenville police officer pulled over 30-year-old Corriyon Bray for speeding in December 2023.

Body camera footage shows the officer handing a pen to Bray to sign a ticket. When the officer demanded the driver return his pen, Bray held it outside his window and drove away.

ā€œThat motherf**ker. He stole my f**king pen!ā€ the officer shouts before climbing into his patrol car.

The video cuts to the cop confronting Bray outside his home and demanding the pen again. When the 30-year-old man insisted he didn't have it, the officer threatened to tase him. The officer proceeds to do so as a sheriff's deputy wrestles Bray to the ground. During the arrest, Bray says, "I can't feel my leg, bro."

Bray ended up with a broken leg and was charged with obstruction and theft by taking.

On Thursday (April 25), the Black man showed his injuries to WSB-TV reporter Audrey Washington. He claims it's broken in two places months after the police encounter.

ā€œIt wasnā€™t right. It wasnā€™t right,ā€ Bray said. ā€œI think it was about trying to show authority. I think thatā€™s what it was about."

Greenville Police Chief Wayne Frazier told reporters he reviewed the body camera footage, claiming the officers did nothing wrong to Bray.

ā€œIf he had complied, none of this would have happened,ā€ Frazier said in an email. ā€œOur SOP says verbal, hands-on, less lethal, and lethal, and he followed protocol."

An attorney representing Bray said his client plans on filing a lawsuit.
