HOOSICK FALLS — A Hoosick Falls High School student's video shows three Rensselaer County deputies arresting two brothers who allegedly refused to leave the school Wednesday after being suspended.

The incident sparked from a dispute over the school putting a boot on the older student’s truck because he did not have a parking pass, the student who shot the video, Shaylyn Graham, said.

“I don’t have anything against cops,” she said. “They handled it inappropriately. They punished those kids unfairly.”

The Times Union is not using the students’ names due to their age.

Graham, a 17-year-old junior, said the school had irregularly enforced a policy on requiring students to have parking passes, adding that she parked at the school without one. The school had spoken to some of the students who were parked on school grounds without a pass that day, including the older brother, but not all of them, she said. His car was the only one that was booted, Graham said.

Hoosick Falls Superintendent Ken Facin and Principal Patrick Dailey did not return calls for comment.

A family friend disputed the allegation that the brothers had refused to leave the school. The friend said the brothers had accepted their suspensions and walked out to the parking lot, only to be asked to come back inside by the superintendent.

The video begins in another room, where Graham and other students are having a conversation with an administrator, upset with how the situation was being handled.

They leave and walk across the hall to an office where the brothers are speaking with three deputies. One brother is standing behind the deputies as they speak with the other brother.

It’s unclear exactly what the officers are saying to the students or how long they’ve been speaking with them by the time they appear on film.

The brother standing behind the deputies tries to get closer to his brother and when the deputies stop him, he screams an obscenity at them. Two deputies immediately grab him, turn him in to the counter and one deputy takes him to the floor.

The other deputy moves to the second brother, tells him to get his hands out of his pockets and tries to detain him. The two brothers struggle with the deputies while the third deputy clears the other students out of the office.

Meanwhile an unidentified school administrator tries to tell Graham and other students that they can not film the arrest.

The two students are eventually placed in handcuffs. Both were charged with trespassing and resisting arrest.

Sheriff Patrick Russo called the incident unfortunate but said the deputies used the appropriate amount of force.

“If they had complied with a lawful order to leave, this never would have happened,” he said.

Russo said the school resource officer, who is a sheriff’s deputy, was called to the office and then at some point called for an additional car.

Russo said he did not know exactly what prompted him to call for more deputies.

Melanie Trimble director of the New York Civil Liberties Union's local chapter, said the incident was something that should’ve been handled by the district, rather than involving law enforcement.
