Per facts in story, warrant not issued until after the fact, thus no authority to arrest as no crime was under way or other probable cause. Second, police will not issue an apology unless she agrees not to sue. That means they realize they are in deep doo doo on this one.
SHE says they came to arrest the child. SHE says they refused to show an arrest warrant. Police do not need a warrant for an arrest in a felony.
Police can come to your door, just like anyone else. Since I wasn’t there, it would be nice to hear the other side. So far, only her story and statements from her mouthpiece (lawyer) have been quoted.
Let me offer an alternate scenario:
Police are investigating a rape of a child. Witness says, ‘I don’t know the kids name, but he lives in that blue house.’. Officer goes to the door and knocks. Woman comes onto the porch and starts screaming ‘F-you, F-you. I’m not telling you anything. I will sue your ass off.’.
Did anyone notice that in this article, there is no mention of charges?

She may have been detained as a witness. Who knows? Lots of people think they have been arrested when they have only been lawfully detained.
Maybe she thinks by creating a media storm, she can divert attention from her son.
