An officer reportedly saw the incident occur as he was reviewing surveillance footage.
Officers encountered Woodley inside the Target and attempted to take him into custody. As officers escorted Woodley to the front of the store, court documents allege he repeatedly made efforts to stop walking and go into an aisle away from the front, which caused officers to lose their grip on his arms.
