A Texas police chief has issued an apology after at least one member of the Frisco Police Department pulled a gun on a family during an erroneous traffic stop.
Frisco Police Chief David Shilson released a statement on Friday addressing the events, which happened the morning of July 23 after a family of four from Little Rock, Arkansas left their hotel and headed to a basketball tournament in Grapevine, Texas.
According to the release, a Frisco officer saw the Dodge Charger with out-of-state license plates and decided to run the plate numbers, due to what they say was a rash of “recent burglaries and vehicle thefts in which Chargers are frequently stolen.”

Tension at its highest 😢
LAWSUIT, no way would I let them go that easy! Especially with guns drawn and cuffing a kid?! Really?!! Over a mistake of 2 letters?! No way
These crooks are so wicked to be traumatizing every citizen encounter they get. All they care about is power and getting away with murder.
Bogus Lawsuit incoming
Mistakes happen. No one was hurt. Fault was admitted by officer. Officer learned huge embarassing lesson. I was parked in a neighborhood talking on my phone one time, and the cops came wondering what I was doing to see if I was staking out houses as they were looking for a guy robbing houses.
Poor baby will forever be scared of officers and yet they will blame him for “their fear”. It FUBAR
Shameful.
