An 84-second video depicting Squires brandishing his weapon on the youths multiple times has gone viral. |
A group of boys were walking in the neighborhood late in the afternoon on Sept. 28 when Squires rode next to them on a green all-terrain vehicle. After a verbal exchange Squires returned wearing a sheriff’s office tactical vest with his handgun drawn. “Get on the ground,” he yelled repeatedly, along with “Come here.” The boys screamed for someone nearby to call the police. “I am the police,” the drunk Squires responded.
