State police and county prosecutors have met with the family of an Alabama teenager seriously injured in an encounter with Troy police on Dec. 23, but no details were released about the meeting or their investigation.

Ulysses Wilkerson, 17, of Troy was hospitalized with injuries after police said he reached for his waistband during a stop causing them to suspect the existence of a weapon. Wilkerson had been seen walking near a closed business at 11:50 p.m., police said. He was charged with obstructing governmental operations and resisting arrest.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) released a statement Saturday saying its investigators and the Pike County District Attorney's Office met with Wikerson's "immediate family members, and their attorneys" Friday to discuss their use of force investigation.

The Troy Police Department had asked the state to investigate, and the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), a division of ALEA, said that Friday was the date agreed to with the family and its attorneys.

"It is understandable for members of the family and other concerned citizens to have questions," state investigators said in the statement. "It is SBI's responsibility to collect, report and communicate all related facts in a properly legal manner so that the criminal justice system is best equipped to render a finding. SBI does not condone any premature releases of information that could jeopardize the rights of all involved parties and/or undermine the course of justice."

State investigators said they welcome more interaction with the family, Wilkerson and the family's attorneys "as needed to ensure the family is kept as informed as possible, and to ensure that all related facts and evidence are documented."
