“This is my house!” the 18-year-old protestes in the video. “That don’t matter,” the officer replied.
The Baltimore Police Department said Tuesday it's investigating a viral video that showed the arrest of an 18-year-old man in the doorway of his own home.
Video posted on Facebook shows the arrest of Tionne Jones on the 1800 block of Barclay street on Saturday evening.
The man who filmed the video, 18-year-old Antonio McLaurin, told BuzzFeed News he and his cousin Jones were stopped by police while entering the rear of Jones' family home because the front door was locked. They informed the officer they were not breaking into the home, but the officer came to the front of the home and demanded to speak to the property owner.
In the video, Jones, wearing a green sweatshirt, tells the police lieutenant who has his hand in the doorway of the home to leave the premises because he did not have a warrant.
"We knew our rights because my mother used to be a Baltimore city police officer," McLaurin told BuzzFeed News. "He kept having his hand in there."
