Worcester police sued over 2019 altercation at church that resulted in pastor tasered, churchgoers arrested
A custody dispute that played out at a Worcester Baptist church in 2019 quickly escalated into a chaotic frenzy that resulted in multiple arrests, a pastor tasered and accusations of police punching churchgoers.
Three years later, a family involved in the altercation is suing the Worcester Police Department and the city, alleging injuries and trauma. Yet the lawsuit and police officers reports from the incident both paint drastically different pictures of what transpired.
