Fuquay-Varina police reviewing actions of officers after teen handcuffed, detained

Ty Ziglar posted about her son's experience on Facebook on Saturday night.

Police later released the teenager.

In part of post to its Facebook page, Fuquay-Varina Police Department said:

Officers said the dirt bike was returned to its owner, who had reported it stolen out of Harnett County, and the case involving its theft remains under investigation.

On Facebook, Ziglar said the number of officers who responded and the treatment of her son shows a disparity in how Black families are treated in Fuquay-Varina.

The Ziglars met with a police department internal affairs investigator about their concerns, including a request that a parent be contacted immediately when officers interact with a child.

In a statement Wednesday, Fuquay-Varina police said, "Thank you to those members of our community that have reached out to share their feedback. We have listened. We appreciate those that have supported our agency and the families involved. We are moving forward with both families and will continue to work with these families to develop a better relationship and improve communication."
