Imagine stepping into a busy intersection drunk and nearly getting hit, not once, but twice, and then blaming everyone else. This body cam footage from Bowling Green, Ohio, isn't just another arrest video. It's a perfect example of how one person's choices turned a simple wellness check into four criminal charges. Every step of the way, she denied, deflected, and demanded special treatment. By the end, you'll see exactly why none of this was the police's fault and all of it was hers. >> I don't want it. >> Do you still have me on? >> Ma'am, I need you to put your hands behind your back. Okay. Can you do that? I don't want to have to physically do anything to you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Ma'am, please. >> Her name is Briana. She was intoxicated, disoriented, and putting herself and drivers at serious risk. When officers arrived, they weren't there to arrest her. They were there to check on her, to keep her safe. That's standard procedure. But from the moment they approached, something was clear. Briana didn't want help. She wanted to be in charge. >> It's going to hurt if you do that. >> Just stop. >> I don't want you to hurt yourself by trying to get your card. >> Just stop. >> What you just heard isn't just being difficult. Under Ohio law, when you're in public, intoxicated, and have endangered yourself by walking into traffic, officers have every right to know who you are. Refusing to identify yourself when reasonably requested, that's obstruction. She even drops the classic line, "I know people in law enforcement." She thinks connections will make this disappear. They won't. you. >> No, I have my ID on my >> You drunkenly fell in the middle of the road, almost got hit by two separate cars, >> and now you're refusing to identify yourself. We swear >> is an arrestable offense. >> No, it's not. >> Yes, it is. >> No, it's not. >> We're not dealing with that. She's going to jail. You're going to jail. >> Okay. Thank you. >> When they try to place handcuffs on her, she doesn't just stand there. She pulls away. She stiffens her arms. She physically resists. Here's how that looks. >> Notice something. The officers aren't being aggressive. They're following protocol. They tell her exactly what they're doing. They give her clear instructions. Resisting arrest in Ohio doesn't mean running away. It means fighting back. And that's exactly what she's doing. >> I'm watching. >> I hope you guys are recording this. >> Outside a nearby restaurant, the situation gets louder. >> Like there's no reason for this. Why? >> No, there's literally no reason for this. >> People stop and watch. She's shouting, making a scene. This is disorderly conduct, creating a disturbance in public that interferes with normal activity. Every time she resists, every time she delays them, that's another charge. She's not a victim here. She's the one prolonging this encounter. >> My hands in front of my body for the love of God. >> Stop. I just can't put my hand in front of my body. >> No. >> Stop. >> No. I have claustrophobia. I literally can't. I cannot. Like, you can handcuff me in front of my body. >> And it's Stop moving. You're not trying to >> I will not. But you can do it all in front of my body as long as I can see it because I have claustrophobia. No. Everybody, please take video because I have a lawsuit here. I had my ID and you're just mad because I hung in the car. >> All right, back in the car. >> And I got >> No. I wanted No, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO. I NO. I asked for >> I asked for the No. I asked for the seat in the front of my >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I asked for the >> Hold your feet in. >> Pull your feet in. >> No. I also need >> I don't care if I don't care if you use a 1080 like if you take it to me. I don't care. But I have claustrophobia. >> You have anything else? >> Can you please just take this to the front of me? >> Please, for the love of God. >> Once inside the patrol car, her strategy shifts. Now she plays the victim. >> I have all of the claustrophobia. I'm not trying to escape your car. demonstrated. >> Would you like me to roll down the windows a little bit? >> Would you like me to roll down the windows to help you? >> No. >> Do not slip the cuffs. >> Keep them behind your back. >> Claiming claustrophobia, begging for the cuffs to be loosened. These are real concerns and officers take them seriously, but they also know when someone is manipulating the situation. Then she drops something that changes everything. She mentions a firearm at her home and that she might hurt herself. When someone in custody mentions self harm and access to a weapon, protocol demands maximum concern. They cannot release her. It would be dangerous and irresponsible. >> Ow. Please just give me a zip tie. Don't do that. Just leave them on. Please, for the love of God, >> take some breaths for me so you don't go into a panic attack. >> You don't get it. You don't get it. But I didn't do anything wrong and you should have just let me walk. I didn't even drive here. Please take this off of mying wrists for the love of God. She keeps using her mental health as leverage. That's not how this works. Threatening self harm to get your way isn't a cry for help. In this moment, it's a tactic and officers cannot give into it. If they do, they teach that threats work and that puts everyone at risk. >> For the love of God, I'm literally going to shoot myself right now. Right now. Because of this. Because of this. I'm not even kidding. I have a 9 mm in my bedroom and I'm going home because of you. I hope you go to bed with that. >> In the end, four charges were filed. Disorderly conduct, obstructing official business, and resisting arrest. Think about it. None of this needed to happen. She could have given her name. She could have accepted a ride or a warning. She could have simply cooperated. Instead, she chose defiance at every single turn. Here's what we can all take away. When stopped by police, stay calm. Keep your hands visible. Provide your information. It's not an admission of guilt. Cooperation doesn't mean weakness. It means not making things worse. And accountability, it always starts with you. This footage doesn't show bad policing. It shows what happens when someone refuses to take responsibility for their own actions. Thanks for watching. Stay safe out there. >> I didn't drive here. I just literally fell down because I tripped over my sandal. That does not give you the right to arrest me. I hope that this gets taken in on all of your dash cam bull. I'm a 30-year-old that tripped over her sandals. >> Hey, do you love the echo chamber that you live in? Okay, we're going to get you out of here. Okay. >> No, I want to hear that you live in the echo chamber. No, I want to hear that you live in the echo chamber. >> Well, if you're not going to cooperate with you with me, we're going to get in the chair. >> So, I want to hear that you live in the echo chamber. >> Go ahead and swing your feet out for me. >> No, I want to hear No, no, no. Stop.
