Police say use of force warranted in arrest of LaGrange man

Police in LaGrange have released body cam video, saying an officer’s use of force was warranted during a recent arrest.

Police said Broderick Brown had warrants for drugs and guns. They arrested him last week.

They took Brown to the hospital after he complained about not being able to breathe.
