Episode Details

A 20-year-old man from Chelmsford, Malakai Linton, is facing serious charges after allegedly punching a Lowell police officer during a chaotic arrest outside a bar following the Folk Festival. The incident, captured on video, shows officers using tasers as they tried to cuff him — and the officer suffered a concussion and arm injuries from the punch to the jaw. Complicating things: Linton’s own mother was reportedly knocked out moments before, and his defense claims his reaction was a result of seeing her fall. His mom and uncle both criticize police conduct, calling for fairness and context. Linton remains jailed on $7,500 bail, with his next court date next month.
