Lubbock police have now released body cam video of an arrest that went viral on social media this week, showing a woman struggling with officers as they attempted to arrest her.

LPD released the body cam video on Saturday afternoon, noting that footage inside the residence has been redacted.

LPD cites Texas law in the redaction, saying “A law enforcement agency may not release any portion of a recording made in a private space, or of a recording involving the investigation of conduct that constitutes a misdemeanor punishable by fine only and does not result in arrest, without written authorization from the person who is the subject of that portion of the recording or, if the person is deceased, from the person’s authorized representative.”

The two viral videos, less than a minute each, both from inside the house, have been viewed and shared thousands of times on Facebook.

It’s a chaotic scene that shows officers attempting to handcuff a woman in a home, and later using a taser to incapacitate her.

The video shows an officer attempting to restrain her, and the two appear to fall into a nearby wall.

Police said, “Please remember that videos seen on social media showcase only part of the facts. After an initial review of the body camera footage, there is no indication any LPD policy was violated,” in a statement released Friday.

LPD says the videos were taken in the 2400 block of 32nd Street, but the incident began in the area of 66th and Avenue T around 5 p.m. Thursday.

Police tell us they had responded to a civil disturbance call where two people, 20-year-old Cedrick Payton and 17-year-old Dakeyvondrick Westbrook, were accused of demanding money and threatening an unnamed victim with a gun.

When police found the suspects, they attempted to drive away, then pulled into a driveway. One suspect ran into a house, ignoring commands from police.

Authorities report a third person, 37-year-old Marquinta Westbrook, attempted to block officers from making an arrest.

Marquinta is the person shown in the videos shared to Facebook.

We are told authorities arrested three people: Payton for aggravated assault, Daykavondrick Westbrook for evading arrest and 37-year-old Marquinta Westbrook for resisting arrest, interfering with public duties and four misdemeanor warrants.

We have reached out to the original poster of those videos for comment and we are expecting body camera footage from the officers on the scene.
