DES MOINES?
A groom was arrested at his own wedding reception over the weekend. Now some guests say police beat the groom while he was handcuffed. A mug shot of Jake Twombly shows his eye swollen shut and blood coming from his nose.

According to the police report written by an off duty, uniformed officer working security at the reception, Twombly was drunk and pushed his groomsman, Travis Cullen "So hard he lost his balance knocking over a ceramic column breaking it and into me sitting on a stool against the wall". The report then says Twombly "Was trying to fight everyone." The officer immediately called for back up.

"I think (the) cop did a good job," Police Spokesman Sgt. Brent Harris says, "Sharp actually. Some officers may forget to call for help thinking they can handle it, you know?"

Other officers arrived. The report indicates Twombly tried to fight with them. He was eventually cuffed and taken away

But Ravis Cullen, the groomsman who police say was shoved by Twombly, says most of the report is an outright lie. "They got our names right," Cullen says, "Other than that...I guess I would have to call it falsified."

Cullen admits they had been drinking and Twombly playfully pushed him and he fell into the off duty officer. But he says that was no reason to call for back up. "I said 'Hey man you ok?' and I patted him on the shoulder. I said 'Sorry about Jake. He just gets this once in a while. If you ignore him he'll come up and give us a hug and say he's sorry.' And he said 'Oh, no problem.' I turned around and that's when he radioed that he needed back-up," Cullen says. Back-up arrived and Cullen says that's when police beat his friend. "They got him down. Two police officers put cuffs on him. He was laying on his back and this Cody Grimes, which I'm not even going to refer to him as officer because I don't think he deserves that title, was hitting him repeatedly. Repeatedly. Repeatedly. If it was a UFC fight the ref would have stopped the fight ten punches ago." Cullen explains, "The only crimes that were committed that night were committed by the police officers."

Police insist Twombly was cuffed but never beaten by officers. "No indications of anything improper," Harris says, "He was handcuffed. He was arrested."

The groom is refusing to comment under the advice of his attorney.

This is not the first time Officer Cody Grimes has been in the news. Back in May, he opened fire on a suspect that police say was trying to run him over. And back in October of 2010, he mistakenly shot at a KCCI photojournalist who matched the description of a suspect Grimes was looking for.
