Judge Denies Motion To Release BRPD Video From 13-Year-Old's Arrest

A juvenile court judge is refusing the city's request to allow the release of police video showing a Baton Rouge officer's scuffle with a 13-year-old boy.

The judge made the announcement Thursday but did not share the reasoning behind the decision.

Sources say the situation started when two teens, later seen in that video, were tormenting other kids. Police were called twice, and on the second visit the two teens became uncooperative.

In the officer's body camera footage, deputies are seen wrestling the teen to the ground and placing him in a headlock.

The incident remains under investigation.
