Timmy Hall's Funeral Procession Interrupted By Fairfax County Police

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (WUSA) -- Fifty-three-year-old Timmy Hall was being laid to rest Thursday when the hundreds of mourners in his funeral procession were pulled over by Fairfax County police. Timmy Hall lost his life in a motorcycle crash a week ago.

I've been a reporter for 25 years and I have never seen a story like this. Not only did police pull over the entire funeral procession, according to numerous witnesses, they threatened to use a taser on the dead man's brother.

What began as a funeral procession along the Fairfax County Parkway to honor 53-year-old Timmy Hall spiraled into a confrontation between Fairfax County Police and the bikers who were mourning his death.

"They showed him no respect. I don't think any family during this time should have to go through what we went through yesterday," said sister Teena Hunter.

With lights and sirens, the family says police pulled over the hearse and the rest of the procession, threatening to arrest some mourners.
