Brandon Fulton told Channel 2’s Eryn Rogers he believes police acted improperly.
It all started over agricultural burning on his property in South Fulton.
On May 7, Fulton says he got a burn permit from the state to be able to burn for pastures for his horses.
Because of the warm weather and drought we were in then, the pile started resmoldering a few days later.
Someone called the police and fire departments to his property.
The situation escalated, and it ended with Fulton being placed in handcuffs and later released.
He also got a ticket for violating the burn permit.
Rogers reached out to both the fire and police department.
The city said the public safety officers acted appropriately.
