 SALT LAKE CITY — A 9-year-old boy suffered a broken collarbone while being restrained and handcuffed by a Sandy police officer after an incident at school, his grandparents say in a federal lawsuit. Craig and Britt Hawker claim officer Tina Marie Albrand used excessive force while attempting to get their grandson to stand up and answer questions about an iPad he stole from Bell View Elementary School last August. Albrand grabbed the boy and placed him in a "lock twist" to get him to stand, according to the complaint filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court. When he began to kick and scream, she forced him against a wall and handcuffed him.
