News Helicopter Video Catches Fort Worth Police Officer Punching Restrained Suspect

Fort Worth, Texas

Terry Glenn Sillers, 46, was recently arrested on Thursday following a traffic stop. As he was lying on the ground, restrained by three men, WFAA/Channel 8 helicopter captured video of the restrained man being punched at least twice by a Fort Worth police officer.

Sgt. Pedro Criado, Fort Worth police spokesman, declined to speak about the incident and referred questions to the Texas Department of Public Safety, which initiated the traffic chase.

Sillers was wanted for a parole violation and officers from the both the DPS and the Fort Worth Police Department located him on a motorcycle in a southeast Fort Worth residential neighborhood.

When officers tried to pull him over, Sillers attempted to flee but his motorcycle eventually locked and he was surrounded by officers. Once restrained, was when the punching incident occurred.
