LOUISVILLE, KY — A Louisville mother was arrested and taken away in handcuffs following her son’s football game. Witnesses said a corrections officer used excessive force when he arrested the mother at a youth football field and it was caught on tape.
It happened Saturday morning at Valley High School. Kids from Valley and Fairdale youth league were finishing a game of football.
“This was just so horrible. Seven to 8-year-olds were standing around crying and screaming,” said witness Laurie Kustes.
Kustes and Cynthia Allen are parents of youth league football players. Allen said the game was wrapping up and an off-duty Metro Corrections officer working security told the crowd to clear the track for the homecoming parade.
“Our parents weren’t clearing the track fast enough so one of our parents were attacked,” said Allen.
