Wayne Tallman faces multiple charges

A man is facing charges after he was caught on camera trying to use an excavator to attack state troopers who were trying to arrest his son for an alleged assault.

Video shows the suspect's father, Wayne Tallman, 52, of Woodbury, Vermont, got behind the controls and began swinging the bucket at the troopers.

One of the troopers aimed his gun at the father but did not pull the trigger.

"It was a dangerous situation that you were put in and in the end, you came out on top. You effected the arrest. You guys both went home that night. That's the goal of why you went there,” Capt. Matt Daley, Vermont State Police, said to officers who were involved.

Troopers were able to get Wayne Tallman out of the excavator and arrested him on charges including aggravated assault on a protected official, resisting arrest, impeding and reckless endangerment.

His son, Brandon Tallman, faces charges including aggravated assault, burglary, unlawful mischief and resisting arrest.

Brandon Tallman’s mother, Amy Tallman, 48, was issued a citation for impeding an officer.
