The officer called for backup, because he was driving a truck, and the now-handcuffed Perry was taken to a holding facility in Orem

I don't know the laws wherever this was, but I think the cop broke the law by not being in an offical car. It was not in his capacity to arrest her. I wonder if he isn't some neighbor who holds a grudge because his yard is manicured? Man, I hate bullies!

Who says he wasn't in an official car? That's not stated in the article and I haven't seen the claim. Police in quite a few areas of the country are issued two-seater pickup trucks.

It was not in his capacity to arrest her.

It was in his capacity to arrest her, but not to transport her. That is not the least bit unusual. Foot cops, mounted cops, bicycle cops, and motorcycle cops arrest people thousands of times avery day, and then radio for a car or paddy wagon to take them in.

Could be. Could be not. No information either way. What is at issue is what went down during the immediate altercation, not the source of the original complaint.

Hows about he can’t transport prisoners cuz he’s got a truck so he needed a car?
Got anymore hyperbole for us to help clarify this situation?
