“Weyant said he changed directions to avoid the car, not initially recognizing it as a police cruiser.  The cruiser came to a stop next to him, and Sprouse got out of the cruiser with his gun drawn.  Weyant alleged that the officer gave no commands and that no words were exchanged. The officer then fired his gun, the bullet hitting Weyant in the right armpit and shoulder area.  The officer, it is charged in the lawsuit, threw Weyant against a fence and handcuffed him, then would not let him sit down even though he began to ‘bleed profusely.’  Altoona attorney Douglas V. Stoehr said Weyant, who works as a laborer, continues to do his job but said he is in a great deal of pain.”
