I'm genuinely asking. >> verified the warrant. >> that I have a warrant. Can you tell me how? >> Late at night, officers found themselves in a tense conversation with a woman outside a residential home. What initially remained a verbal disagreement continued escalating as she challenged the officers and the back and forth became increasingly heated. Then, in a matter of seconds, everything changed. Officers moved in to take control of the situation, turning the argument into a physical struggle that would ultimately end with her in handcuffs and on her way to a detention facility. >> You said you know who I am. >> I recognize you. >> Okay, so tell me. >> I don't remember you. >> Am I being detained? >> Yes, you're being detained.

I HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING. I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THIS was a thing. >> Okay. I am going to guess that you are go- going to see a judge in the morning, and he will set your bond in the morning. Based on what your charges are, I'm going to guess that as long as there are no incidents at the jail that you will be released in the morning. That would be my guess.

Down your sides, okay? >> going to be withdrawing from anything? >> No. >> All right. >> I don't do pills. >> What began as a heated conversation eventually ended with the woman restrained, placed in a patrol vehicle, and transported for processing. The footage shows how quickly a verbal confrontation can change once officers decide physical control is necessary. Based on everything you just watched, do you think the officers gave her enough opportunity to calm the situation down, or had the encounter already gone too far?
