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.
“You need to give me your name. If you don`t, I`m going to arrest you for obstruction.†The body camera covered, you hear Mitchell yelling at his girlfriend, then he began walking away. Mitchell told WREG he was heading to open the door, but police said they thought he was going to run away. That’s when you hear the officer shout, “Hey, turn around, you`re (( he fires his taser here)) under arrest.†Attorney James Harris, who filed the lawsuit, said at no point did the officer ever tell Mitchell he was under arrest prior to pulling out his taser.
It was only after shooting him, he said, that the officer said he was under arrest. Harris also pointed out the police didn’t match up with the police body camera footage from the scene. The report claimed the officer told Mitchell he was under arrest before he was shot with the stun gun. Mitchell was charged with obstruction of justice, disorderly conduct and refusal to submit to arrest. Mitchell is expected to in court on August 2. The officer is also reportedly still on the force.

Non-compliance with police should be an automatic 5 year prison sentence.
Why not comply with cop? I know here the cop made mistake!! But still I see many people don't comply and get killed !!
As much as I support cops some guys don’t deserve the badge especially angry trigger happy dumb fucks
He could have avoided all this mess by letting the female get her clothes, but no. He decided to act like an idiot. Let me guess. He is going to pull the racist card.
Uhhh, he tasted him before he said he's under arrest.
This generation of boys all cry like girls I'm cold it hurts its your fault yo man
$35,000 win
subject awarded $35,000.00 in settlement for use of excessive force.
i don't know. sometimes they take too long to action, sometimes there's no leeway.
there was no tazer tazer tazer. he just tazed him. THEN said you're under arrest. i think this should be challenged in court. ok. it was. grateful there was no shooting. aside from that, he went down like a tree. funny as hell. needed to hear t i m b e r !!
Doohh no it's door section 8… You should be arrested for destroying speech ..
Ctfu!! That cop crazy as shit! "Turn around ZAPP your under arrest." Wtf
He was already there to mitigate, handled quick no bullets.
Police did nothing wrong.
The cop would’ve looked dumb if the taser didn’t work
Oh big deal. The thug should learn to be more respectful to police.
Hahah I like this cop
That cop needs to be fired
The guy who got tased won in court and got $35,000
