Dominique Kenebrew says he was celebrating the purchase of a new home just outside Huntsville when sheriff's deputies knocked on the door, refused to say why they were there, tried to enter the home and tased Kenebrew in the back when he refused to let them in. Here is how it all went down.
Around 11 p.m. Deputy Dejong knocked, Kenebrew stepped outside. Kenebrew closed the door behind him and asked what officers wanted. Police did not have a search warrant. Kenebrew refused to grant them permission to enter the house.
Deputies repeatedly informed him they wanted to search the home, but would not provide a reason and tried to walk around Kenebrew.
Dejong said that he had seen inside the door and had noticed liquor, beer and what he thought might be under-aged drinkers.
the stun gun was cycling through the boot-up procedure and fired into Kenebrew's back.
he stunned him twice more when Kenebrew did not respond to commands to roll over and put his hands behind his back.
After stunning Kenebrew, Madison County deputies entered the home. They handcuffed two guests all without a warrant, probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
Dejong says they waited on backup. Kenebrew said there were about 10 deputies there already.
As for the deputies that entered to see if Kenebrew's guests were old enough to drink alcohol,deputies never checked driver's licenses of the guests.
There were no minors at the housewarming.
All agree they found nothing illegal.
It was determined that the patrons inside the house were not violating any laws within the residence.
Kenebrew was arrested, taken to jail and charged with obstructing government operations. He was later acquitted.
