Bodycam: Cops Admit They Have 'Wrong Guy,' Arrest Him Anyway

Silvester Hayes, a 27-year-old father, found himself in a shocking and distressing situation when Dallas police pulled him over while he was driving to get food for his children in October 2021. Body camera footage from the incident reveals a case of mistaken identity, as officers confused Hayes with a wanted domestic violence suspect due to the similar spellings of their first names. Despite Hayes' attempts to clarify the situation, the encounter quickly escalated into a violent arrest, leaving him traumatized and facing unwarranted consequences.
