Ruther Hayes, a disabled veteran, was severely beaten by police officers during the raid as he attempted to give his wife Lisa a sponge bath. Lisa Hayes is a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy who was receiving a sponge bath on the bed when multiple officers forced their way into the couple's bedroom.

When he saw the officers enter the room, Ruther Hayes attempted to cover his naked wife with a sheet. Instead of allowing the man to cover his naked quadriplegic wife, however, police threw him to the ground, tasered him, and punched him repeatedly.

As officers beat the disabled veteran bloody, they screamed at Lisa Hayes to get up, despite being told by every family member in the home that she was unable to walk.

Officers were looking for Joey L. Guy, 30, and Louis H. Scott, 33. Lisa Hayes is their aunt. The search warrant allowed them to search everyone in the home as they looked for drugs, paraphernalia, records of drug transactions, guns and ammunition and cash.

Prior to busting down the door to the bedroom of Ruther and Lisa Hayes, the two men were placed in handcuffs without incident. After being placed in cuffs, both nephews attempted to tell police that their aunt in the back bedroom is physically challenged.
