Air Force apologizes to family after traffic stop
DAYTON —
A Columbus family said their children were traumatized after what was meant to be a fun trip to the National Museum of the United States Air Force ended with guns drawn on them.
Alice Hill, 65, her daughter-in-law Wendy and two young grandchildren visited the museum on April 4 and, as they were leaving, were ordered to get out of their vehicle by Military Police. Hill said the officers pulled guns on the family and cuffed the adults in front of the children, according to an incident report
“I never in my life thought somebody would pull a gun on me, especially a cop,” said Alice Hill, a grandmother of seven who lives near Circleville.
Initial reports indicated the van had been reported stolen so security forces executed a “high-risk traffic stop,” WPAFB officials said in a written statement.
The family was detained for roughly 90 minutes as authorities sorted through questions about whether the van was stolen — it wasn’t — and whether they were casing cars in the lot — they weren’t.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base security officials said the incident turned out to be a misunderstanding; they believed family members were riding in a stolen vehicle.
