By Wednesday afternoon, the police department released body camera footage showing cops talking to Hancock prior to the fight.

They say she was at first cooperating with law enforcement, WDTN reports, but then refused to provide her name and was arrested for resisting arrest.

The sergeant involved has since been put on paid administrative leave.

In general, refusal to ID and resisting arrest are both secondary offenses. You can’t be arrested for either one without committing some other crime first.

What was her other crime? Disorderly conduct? Trespassing? Unfortunately, some cops will arrest for just a secondary offense. It’s wrong, but why should they care? Any lawsuit award won’t be coming out of their pockets.
