The Ulster County Sheriff released the body cam footage yesterday from the arrest of a 26-year-old Saugerties woman that led to claims of excessive force following a traffic stop in the town of Ulster.
Shana Shaw of Saugerties was arrested December 28 around 3:45 p.m. on the charges of resisting arrest, driving with a suspended license and marijuana possession. Shaw posted a 43-second video recorded by a bystander the same day, which showed her being pulled from her car and handcuffed on the ground by two officers. She told Hudson Valley One that she believes the deputy used excessive force, resulting in a concussion, nerve damage in her wrist from the handcuffs, and bruises on her body, which put her out of work for three days. She said she made a formal complaint and planned to sue the sheriff’s department.
The 8-minute 39-second body cam video sheds more light on the interaction between Shaw and Deputy Brian Woltman that unfolded that afternoon in the Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot. The video begins with Woltman approaching Shaw’s vehicle. She asks why she was pulled over. The deputy responds: “you cut me off without signaling back there on 9W,†and “your license is suspended.†Shaw responds that she did signal and says she just cleared the suspended license but the paperwork was at home.
Woltman replies, “that stinks.â€
Shaw then suggests having someone pick up the car and explains that she’s there to meet a friend. Woltman then asks her to “hop out.†Shaw complies, and then asks why she had to get out of the vehicle. Woltman replies that it’s because she’s being placed under arrest for driving without a license.
At this point, the tone of the interaction changes.
“Let’s not make things difficult,†says Woltman.“Let’s make this very easy.â€
Shaw says the deputy can follow her home to see the paperwork for her license and that she can prove it.
“No, I’m not following you home,†says Woltman.
“So you’re going to arrest me after I just left work, and I’m a nurse?†says Shaw, who said earlier this week she is a nurse assistant.
Woltman asks Shaw to step closer to him. She says no and gets back into her car, saying she was going to call her lawyer.
Deputy Woltman follows her, standing in front of the driver’s side door and calling for backup. He then grabs her arm and tells her she’s under arrest.
For around the next six minutes, Deputy Woltman and Shaw go back and forth, saying “you’re under arrest, stop resisting,†and “I’m not resisting.†At one point, Woltman says “I’m going to taze you if you don’t get out of the car.â€
When Shaw says someone is filming the interaction, Woltman replies he is also recording the situation. Eventually, another officer approaches from the passenger side, trying to calm Shaw down. He can be heard saying, “look at me, just listen to me for a second.â€
Following that, the body cam video reaches the point at which the bystander video began: Deputy Woltman pulls Shaw out of the vehicle, and she can be seen handcuffed while laying stomach-down on the pavement. She yells “I’m not resisting†and “Ow, you’re hurting me.â€
Shaw was then brought to the back of the police vehicle. She yells,“I fell on my fucking head,†before an officer shut the door with her in the back seat. The video ends shortly after that.
The Ulster County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook post with the body cam footage has been viewed almost 300,000 times and led to over 4,000 comments.
In a post accompanying the video, Sheriff Juan Figueroa explains why it was released.
“I found it prudent to release the body camera footage of the event that occurred on December 28, 2020 in a parking lot in the Town of Ulster, as this event has already garnered community attention. Encounters with law enforcement can be unpredictable, and although this is not to say one way or the other that anyone is at fault, this will at least shed light on the event as it occurred in real time. Like all technology, devices such as body cameras, cell phones and similar devices are machines with limitations. This complaint remains under investigation.â€

This was very amusing!😄
Funny how she only starts recording after he asked her to get out of the car. She gets out finds out she is unde arrest then jumps back in her car. I think it is fu ny that she thinks she knows the law better then the cop. He said he was going to taze you if you did not get out of the car. However the cop has been recording the whole time. He has told her 3 times she is under arrest for driving with a suspended license. She is playing innocent lmao.
GET THAT DHENDOH NOTTTHN IN JAIL
CNN School of Law alumni
I'm not resistiiiiing! I'm not resistiiiiing! I'm not resistiiiiing!
For someone who's not resisting arrest She's doing a great impression of someone resisting arrest.
Like playing Tag as a kid saying I’m on base you can’t tag me!!
"Im not resisting"
continues to pull away and renders the cop from performing an arrest
Kinda like George Floyd yelling I can't breath while breathing…
Lol she complains and cries more than my 3 year old when she doesn’t get her way.
Thank you obama for starting the war on police. It's simple……. comply. Thank you police for doing a difficult job in a horrific time for humanity.
Her first words were literally " Why did you pull me over?" SCREEAMMMM…. SCREEAMMMM… "I'm PARKED, YOU CAN'T ARREST ME!!!""
What would Lebron James Tweet?
She has her lawyer on speed dial???? LMAO!!!
You know his eye brows went up when he used his Dad voice saying her name cuz he knew she was lying, SHANNNNNNAAA!!
You should have tased her! Or at least after the 50th time of, your under arrest, Im not resisting, bullshit,…. You drag her ass out!!
Didn’t nobody raise these kids right?
I illegally drove here, and I am illegally parked! You can’t arrest me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nother dummy
P.O.C. STOP DOING THIS and magically, all the problems will stop. – He should have tased her when he threatened to …. like in so many situations like this where the cops fear the race card and the wrath of politically correct chiefs if they ENFORCE THE LAW. — P.S. Lady, YOU ARE RESISTING!!!!! – This is manufactured controversy.
Some people feel they can choose what laws to follow and if they don’t feel like getting arrested they feel they shouldn’t and will make a scene to look like the victim.
That hurt me to watch…and it made me angry at the lawman…something we are doing isnt right…and it needs to be FIXED
Theres gotta be a better way
resist… since when is a parking spot a safe haven?😂😂… maybe a good sock?
im sure ben crump has been retained
Es que no era blanco
So tired of people, grown adults acting like little babies. My God. STOP FUCKING RESISTING ARREST!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!
Black people in these videos are always difficult
If any of us went out driving with no license and then if you get stopped then you can expect to be arrested. WOW she knows the law – she must be a lawyer because she said she can't be arrested. I have seen five (5) year old temper tantrums before and she knows how to behave like a five (5) year really really well. Man the stuff that these brave police officers put up with on a daily basis is amazing. The girl is funny – she makes everybody laugh with this video — it is hilarious — we are laughing out loud. We are laughing our asses off. The high pitch whinny voice is really funny.
I hope she doesn't reproduce 🤦â€â™‚ï¸ ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸
If she had grabbed a gun and shot him then I would blame him for allowing her to get back into the vehicle. He should have snatched her ass out so quick and if she got hurt then it is her fault. If the officer was cautious because she was black then he should quit the force and go do something else
SHE THINKS SHES ABOVE THE LAW. THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH ALL THE YOUNGER GEN. NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW. THINK TO BLM BULLSHIT.
She broke the law. A land with out law and order is a land in chaos. God bless all LE across our nation.
Reminiscent of the soon coming Judgment Day: "Judge (God), I don't believe you exist, I didn't do anything wrong, I'm leaving now." How soon before the bailiff (in a court of law) tackles and cuffs that person? [On Judgment Day, the Lake of Fire.] IT DOESN'T MATTER what a person believes. What matters is: Whether or not what one believes is TRUE. You have God's eternal Word on it. 🚧🔥 #repent #TakingTurf
That's called turning a minor issue into a major one and learning the hard way.
3:55 rip to all those who watch on pc
rip my neck also
NOT RESISTING
ACHIVEMENT UNLOCK: increase resisting level 999
Democrats have persuaded a whole section of society that normal standards of behaviour don't apply to them and they are in some way exempt.
I fell on my fvcking head! Slams the door shut as hysterical voice fades LMAOOO that's some Hollywood sh!t right there hahahah
Why to obey? Let's refuse, escalate the tension, dramatise, play the racist card and try to shake them from some money.
She's definitely exercising her white privilege. That police officer needs to recognize.
We wuz kangz and sheit
I really wanted her tased a few times. She is super annoying.
8:03 — “I fell on my fn hea—!â€
—SLAM!—
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If she was white…
This woman here is one of the problems too…smh
I'm not resisting … proceeds to resist. black people must think resisting doesnt apply to them …like in every other video.
I've never seen anyone be arrested for driving with suspended license
