The incident was initially investigated as non-categorical, which is a lower-level use of force.<\/p>\n<p>Moore said Hayes, who is 6-foot-11 and 220 pounds, had made a complaint that \u201che could not breathe, that there was a constraint or restriction on his neck,\u201d the chief said.<\/p>\n<p>LAPD said officers from the department\u2019s Topanga Division had responded to a radio call of a domestic dispute on July 28 at approximately 2:50 a.m. Upon arrival, they made contact with Hayes in the front yard of a residence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficers informed Hayes they received a call at the location and needed to speak with the victim, but requested Hayes remain outside while they did so,\u201d an LAPD statement issued on Thursday said. \u201cBody Worn Video captured Hayes repeatedly attempting to enter the residence, despite officers blocking his path and verbal commands for him to remain outside. Officers requested a backup and they attempted to place Hayes\u2019 hands behind his back; however, Hayes broke free of the officers\u2019 grasp and pushed one of the officers into a wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficers utilized physical force to take Hayes down to the ground to overcome his resistance,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cOnce on the ground, Hayes attempted to get up and continued resisting officers. Officers utilized two deployments of the taser, as well as bodyweight and physical force during the altercation, which lasted for approximately two and a half minutes, before officers were able to handcuff Hayes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hayes, 21, was hospitalized for several hours due to unspecified injuries related to the scuffle, then booked into jail on suspicion of resisting arrest. About two hours later, he was released on $25,000 bond.<\/p>\n<p>An LAPD officer also required medical attention for minor injuries sustained during the struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Police said the woman at the scene \u201cdeclined to cooperate with officers\u2019 investigation into the original domestic dispute call.\u201d The New Orleans Advocate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nola.com\/sports\/pelicans\/article_7a967bb6-f08e-11eb-9cbc-1bed058aba44.html\">described<\/a> the location as the home of Hayes\u2019 girlfriend, who the outlet called \u201ca fashion model and social media celebrity with more than 4 million followers across several platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Use of Force Review Board will conduct the investigation and submit its findings and recommendations to Chief Moore.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes was the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft and played one college season for the Texas Longhorns before turning pro. In two seasons, he has averaged 7.4 points and 4.2 rebounds a game. His father, Jonathan Hayes, was a former NFL tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
