Bodycam Arkansas Man Tasered By Cop Sues For Excessive Force

A civil rights lawsuit has been filed in a case which a Blytheville Police Officer is seen using a taser on a man on the 4th of July. The lawsuit claimed the officer used excessive force during the encounter. It all started when officers confronted Chardrick Mitchell at an apartment building on East Main Street. Mitchell had reportedly locked his live-in girlfriend out of their place. “If she’s living there, you can’t stop her from getting her own clothes,” the officer is heard saying. Seconds pass and the officer asks Mitchell’s name, but he refused.
