Mississippi police release body-cam footage of arrest involving handicap parking space

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Senatobia Police Department has released body-camera footage of the arrest of a woman who was accused of illegally parking in a handicap parking space.

Breshari Faulkner was arrested on Mother’s Day after she was accused of illegally parking in a handicap spot in a Walmart parking lot. Video captured by a witness showed Faulkner handcuffed on the ground.

On Thursday, Senatobia Police released body-camera videos from the arrest, including a video that shows the initial confrontation between Faulkner and the officer.

One of the videos shows the officer demanding to see Faulkner’s ID while Faulkner repeatedly tells her that she has just dropped her grandmother off at the store. The video also shows Faulkner holding her ID out to the officer while demanding to speak to a supervisor.

The arresting officer then tells Faulkner to get out of the vehicle or she will “make” Faulkner get out of the vehicle. The video shows the officer grabbing Faulkner’s arm and pointing a Taser at her before taking Faulkner to the ground and handcuffing her.

WREG was able to speak with Faulkner on Monday, who told us that she had just dropped her grandmother off at Walmart and offered to move her vehicle. Faulkner also told WREG that the officer threatened to Tase her in front of her children.

“While I got my license in my hand, I’m trying to tell her I want a sergeant. It’s getting loud. She getting vocal. It’s getting hotter and hotter with the situation,” Faulkner said.

Senatobia Police issued a statement on the release of the videos.

We are posting these videos to continue our efforts to be transparent with our community. We previously released a statement with the known facts at the time. This was done so that the public could be informed quickly of the information that we had at the time, as we searched and retrieved all video available in the area and body-cam footage from the officers involved. It is always our intention to give an accurate account of what transpires involving our officers. We appreciate the patience of our citizens as we conducted a thorough investigation. It would not be fair to our officers, or the parties involved, to put out a hasty collaboration just to appease the few who either don’t appreciate law and order, or those who are not familiar with our continued efforts to remain transparent over the last five years.

Faulkner was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and a handicap parking violation.
