Dad Calls Deputies a Couple of Big Bullies
SAVANNAH, Ga. (CN) - A father claims two off-duty deputy sheriffs bullied his 12-year-old son on a golf course, and when the dad confronted them, had the father arrested on a bogus charge of battery.
...
Brownlee says the deputies agreed to walk away from the incident without pressing charges if he did the same, then had him arrested the next day on false charges.
...
Brownlee says Phillips asked the boys for proof they had paid to play golf and refused to let them leave. Davis Brownlee called the pro shop, but no one answered. Davis called his father, but the cops refused to talk to him on the phone, Brownlee says. So he drove to the golf course, while his son, frightened, would not let him get off the phone.
When Brownlee stepped out of his truck and asked the deputies what was going on, "Defendant Phillips raised his voice and yelled at plaintiff Stephen Brownlee to 'Stand down!' (or words to that effect)," and flashed his badge. (Parentheses in complaint).

The kids had permission to play but the cop said they didn't because he owned the course (ie, he lied). Much more in the article.
