The Precinct 4 Constable's Office said an officer approached Valdez and his brother after seeing him on a hover board, which are not allowed in the mall. Mall policy states that guests who violate rules will be asked to leave. Valdez said he never got that chance.

Valdez's brother recorded the entire incident in a video that quickly went viral on Facebook.

The jury decided Thursday Valdez was not guilty of resisting arrest.
