Footage show the moment cops punch an elderly veteran with Alzheimer’s during an arrest in Kentucky.
In early December a Silver Alert was issued for 61-year-old George Henderson after he wandered away from his Clarksville, Tennessee home. He was eventually found at an Exxon gas station in Guthrie, Kentucky, just over the state line about 10 miles from where he was last seen, WSMV.com reported.
But when cops located the 61-year-old things turned violent, according to arrest documents obtained by Clarksville Now . A gas station attendant saw Henderson getting into their car and attempted to remove him, when they couldn’t they called police.

An officer arrived and talked to Henderson, who told him he didn’t know where he was and the officer assumed that he may have been under the influence. Bodycam footage shows Officer J. Pritchett take Henderson’s arm behind his back.
