"I was led to believe that Michael saw a police officer and attacked a police officer on sight," said Gray, adding that that's not what happened. She knows because she ultimately obtained a copy of the police report. In it, the officer, Lt. Frank Gordo, says he placed his hand on Michael's and, "the boy pushed my hand away in a batting motion, pushed papers off the table, and kicked me in the right knee." When Michael wouldn't calm down, Gordo cuffed Michael's hands and feet with zip ties and took the boy to the Stockton Kaiser Psychiatric Hospital in the back of a squad car. He had not called Michael's mother or father at that point. Michael was cited for battery on a police officer. "I didn't know until two or three weeks later that my son was zip tied," Gray said.
