3 brothers visiting dying grandmother brawled with police in her Ellsworth hospital roomhttps://bangordailynews.com/2019/02/03/news/hancock/3-brothers-visiting-dying-grandmother-brawled-with-police-in-her-ellsworth-hospital-room/?_ga=2.180751008.666050852.1549286238-789779681.1549286238
Jan. 20 fight at an Ellsworth hospital was precipitated by an incident in which a Norridgewock man crawled halfway out of a moving vehicle and pointed something at a car behind him that the other driver thought was a rifle, according to court documents.
The man and his two brothers then stopped their vehicle on East Main Street and ran away from responding police to Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital, where a few minutes later they were confronted by Ellsworth police officers in their grandmothers room. In the ensuing brawl, each man was shot twice with stun guns, and hospital furniture was broken before the three men were subdued and arrested, according to a probable cause police report filed in Hancock County Unified Criminal Court.

According to Heidi Grant, mother of the three men, she was at the hospital and let them in the locked door, not knowing she wasnt supposed to let them in. She said her sons had called her telling her they were being chased by police and were afraid of being shot.
Police pursued the men to their grandmothers hospital room and again ordered them to get down on the floor. They refused, at which point police fired their Tasers, according to the police report. The officers then tried to wrestle the three men to the ground, with Wilmot and Brighton Sawyer exchanging blows.

Family dynamics.... are the patterns of relating, or interactions, between family members. Each family system and its dynamics are unique, although there are some common patterns. All families have some helpful and some unhelpful dynamics.
Sometimes we all think our families are nuts... then we read something like this and feel normal.
