Trooper Tackles Teen During Traffic Stop | Chattanooga News

A shocking video from Arkansas shows a state trooper violently tackling an 18-year-old woman during a traffic stop, punching her in the face after she allegedly resisted arrest. The incident, captured on August 1st, has ignited national outrage as details emerge: the teen was pulled over for multiple violations — including a broken window and an open alcohol container — though the bottle was reportedly sealed. Trooper Moisses Arellano claims she became combative after initially complying, leading him to use force to gain compliance. Witnesses heard another officer suggest arresting her due to her “attitude,” referencing a prior warning. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is now representing Hackett, demanding a full investigation and calling the force used excessive and unjustified for a minor traffic stop. Hackett faces charges including refusal to submit to arrest and underage drinking. The Arkansas Department of Public Safety refuses to comment pending litigation, while questions remain about Arellano’s current employment status. A civil rights lawsuit has already been filed on Hackett’s behalf. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
