"I was in my bed relaxing because I normally go to work (at) 3:30 Monday morning. I work at FedEx," Henry said.
Henry said he had fallen asleep for the night when he was abruptly awoken by the lock being blown off and the sound of police storming his house. He said he could hear them coming upstairs toward his bedroom and, soon enough, an officer showed up at his bedroom door.
According to Henry, he was immediately Tasered, handcuffed and taken to the main floor.
"I was there for two hours in the (cuffs)," he said. "(It was) so uncomfortable (it's) like I was trembling. I was standing while I was trembling."
