Arizona police released body camera footage that showed officers attempting to get the father of a toddler with a high fever — whose doctor directed be taken to a hospital — to come outside multiple times before breaking down the front door of the family's home with guns drawn.
Sarah Beck brought her 2-year-old son to Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine on Feb. 25 and was told he had a temperature of more than 105, according to reports by the Chandler Police Department.
Police were contacted after a doctor reported to the Department of Child Services that the child never made it to the hospital, as she had recommended, and she feared the child could be suffering from a "life-threatening" illness that could not be tested for at the clinic.
When police arrived, Beck and her husband, Brooks Bryce, wouldn't let them into the house because they said the fever had broken and the child was no longer in danger.
