Elderly Man Charged with Battery After Viral Altercation with Police Over Parking
Elderly man Stedman Scotland, 82, has found himself facing charges of battery and resisting arrest following an incident with police officers during a parking disagreement.
This incident gained traction on social media after video footage emerged showing Scotland being pushed, struck, and forcefully thrown to the ground before being placed in the trunk of a police car last week.
Scotland, who has a history of a brain injury and has a disability sticker displayed on his vehicle, was reportedly involved in a confrontation triggered by a dispute over parking on the sidewalk outside a barbershop.
