Quote:Bakersfield woman, mistaken for male suspect, files excessive force claim against police
Quote:Tatyana Hargrove was arrested on June 18 after Bakersfield police stopped her because she matched the description of a suspect who was armed with a machete and had visited a grocery store. During the stop, Hargrove claimed, she was beaten by officers and attacked by a police dog.
She "matched" the description, huh?
Quote:The suspect was described as a 30-year-old black male who was 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighed 160 pounds and had a shaved head and goatee, according to the police report. The man was carrying a pink duffel bag.
Hargrove is black, and stands 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds, according to the police report. She wore a red and black Spiderman backpack.
And I bet she didn't have a shaved head and a goatee, either.
But she was black and I guess in Bakersfield that is close enough. Fine police work, eh G/S?
What the cops heard when the suspect's description came over the radio: "A 30-year-old black male, 5'10", 160 pounds, with a shaved head, a goatee and carrying a pink duffel bag."
