The footage, which the family attorney posted on YouTube on Sunday, shows an officer exiting his vehicle to approach the boy near Verrado Town Square and ask him what he's doing. The boy says he's "stimming" and holds up a piece of string.
The officer asks if the boy has an ID on him, the boy says no and turns to walk away.
Officer David Grossman, who is trained in drug recognition, was the officer involved in the detainment, according to Buckeye police, which released the video Monday.
In his police report about the July 19 incident, Grossman said he believed the teen was using an inhalant drug.
The Buckeye Police Department said Monday his response was a reasonable suspicion based on Grossman's training and expertise.

This information will appear if police run the individual's name.
