Officer Bryson Hayes was booked on aggravated assault and strangulation charges at the end of January. Since then, it was determined the criminal prosecution was not warranted.

Hayes remains in a non-public safety position at this time.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
