| The Dallas Police Department confirmed Thursday that an officer drew a gun on NFL running back Ryan Moats and his wife after he stopped them to give them a ticket even as they begged to hurry to the bedside of their dying mother. As he rushed his family to the hospital, Ryan Moats, 26, rolled through a red light. A Dallas police officer pulled their SUV over outside the emergency room at the Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano. He was pointing a gun at me as soon as I got out of the car, said his wife, Tamishia Moats. It was the weirdest feeling because Ive never had a gun pointed at me before under those circumstances. Seconds later, Ryan Moats and his wife explained that her mother was dying inside the hospital. A Dallas police spokesman said that Officer Robert Powell told his commanders that he drew his gun, but did not point it. Lt. Andy Harvey said it is not unusual for officers to draw a gun without pointing it. Drawing a gun is not unusual in traffic stops where officers feel threatened. Officer Powell could not be reached for comment. Powell, 25, spent long minutes writing Moats a ticket and threatened him with arrest during the incident. I can screw you over, the officer told Moats. Id rather not do that. The scene last week, captured by a dashboard video camera, prompted apologies and the promise of an investigation from Dallas police officials. |
