Arkansas State Trooper Hit With Lawsuit After Hitting Woman In Violent Arrest
Published
The 18-year-old motorist who was punched and thrown to the ground by an Arkansas State Trooper in a violent arrest is punching back ... because she's suing him.
Alisa Hackett filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Trooper Moisses Arellano, claiming he struck her face during an August 1 traffic stop because she talked back to him.
Hackett says the use of force was NOT justified ... she claims she was unarmed, posed no threat to the trooper or anyone else, had no means of escape and was suspected of no more than a minor traffic offense.
