As he recovers at home in Pennsylvania, Anderson said he still doesn’t understand how violating Ocean City’s vaping ban escalated.
He says he and his friends complied when officers told them to stop vaping on the boardwalk Saturday.
“I put the vape away, and we started walking, and they’re still following me,” Anderson said.

Anderson says he tried to walk away as officers surrounded him.
“Next thing I know, I’m just on the ground getting kneed in my ribcage,” he said.
