FIGHT
Continued from Front
tried to Tase Bell and one
deputy is heard on the audio
tape ordered Bell to stop
trying to “grab his nuts.”
Haskins was taken to the
hospital where he received
stitches for a cut to his
forehead.
Bells attorney, public
defender Rusty Knox, said
his client wasn’t trying to
fight, but simply had a bad
shoulder that hurt when
his arm was pulled back for
arrest.
One juror apparently
opposed reaching a guilty
verdict because of the prison
time Bell would face. So
Judge Wilson interviewed
each juror individually to
determine the situation. He
then replaced the juror with
an alternate. Wilson said the
juror had violated jury in
structions to only consider
guilt or innocence, not the
punishment.
Sheriff Brad Freeman said
he was glad to see the result,
especially since Haskins still
has a scar on his forehead
from the scuffle.
“I am very pleased with
the outcome, that we are
not like some other counties
where you can beat up law
enforcement,” said Freeman.
PRISON
Continued from Front
if she didn’t, she would be
charged with obstruction
and arrested. Brown asked
her several times to get
back in the vehicle, while
Taylor was pleading with
her because he said they
both didn’t need to go to
jail. She continued to ignore
them.
Hawkins then got into
the driver’s seat, refusing
to give Cpl. Jacob Justice
her license. Justice told
her if she didn’t comply,
she would be arrested for
obstruction. After plead
ing with Hawkins for her
license several times and
Hawkins continuing to
refuse, she was told she was
under arrest. But Hawkins
refused to step out of the
vehicle. Deputies began to
remove her but Hawkins
started kicking, screaming
and resisting. Sgt. David
Asbell and Officer Powell
removed two girls, who
were crying, from the
backseat and put them in
their vehicle while Hawkins
continued to resist. Justice,
Mercer and Brown pulled
Hawkins out the vehicle
from driver’s door, while
Inv. Jacob Robins pushed
from the inside passenger
door. Hawkins was put
on the ground outside the
veJiicle, where she refused
to put her hands behind
her back. Hawkins tried to
pull Brown to the ground
by grabbing his pants. They
were finally able to hand
cuff her. While trying to
place her in the backseat
of officer Cody Maples’
vehicle, she continued kick
ing and placing her feet in
door to keep the door from
shutting. While en route to
the jail she kicked the rear
door window and damaged
it. Mercer suffered a cut
to her left thumb, Justice
injured his right ankle and
Hawkins bit Inv. Robins
on his right wrist without
breaking skin.
WJiile being booked she
called Maples racist “like
that b— right there” point
ing to Mercer. She then told
Mercer she needed to do
something else with his hair
style.
