According to FOX Houston , Donald Driver's father has filed a report that he was brutally beaten by police after a traffic stop.
According to the report, Marvin Driver Jr., father of Driver, says the attack took place on Sunday night. After being taken into custody for traffic violations, Mr. Driver was then rushed to an emergency room.
"Though unable to speak, Marvin Driver was able to scribble details of the alleged assault on hospital napkins."
Apparently, the incident sounded quite serious.
"Houston Activist Quanell X says Marvin Driver was taken behind a local gas station by police officers, kicked and beaten. Quanell X also said officers allegedly forced Marvin Driver to swallow something and allegedly taunted him by saying, "This is going to take you to Jesus."'
We wish the best to Double D and his family in their time of need.
