a police officer with a baton in one hand wrestling with Drayton at a booth. >> You're now being detained because you're not cooperating with the investigation. >> The officer with handcuffs can be seen hitting Drayton three times. >> I'm going to keep you up all night. >> How you going to rip my stuff and I have never even you >> We can't answer the door right now, but if you'd like to leave a message >> Welcome back to the lackluster channel. There's no doubt that some of you have seen this video recently. This is Officer Jennifer Umphlett. >> Does Jennifer >> Umphlett >> And I'm sure none of you are surprised learning that this isn't her first time becoming famous on the internet. [music] >> An arrest Monday at a Greenville McDonald's has caught the attention of thousands of people on Facebook. >> Sergeant Jennifer Umphlett of the Greenville police has at least six interactions that are noteworthy that I've been able to find so far, but two certainly stand above the rest. One of which occurred in February of 2025. >> The video on Facebook has been viewed over 340,000 times. >> And it's actually difficult to tell which officer is the Jennifer in question. >> A viral Facebook video of an arrest in Greenville sparking [music] outrage from many people. >> Just had me in shock had everybody in shock inside there. For real. >> Police were called to a McDonald's in the early afternoon. The establishment made a trespassing complaint and wanted Anthony Drayton permanently banned from the property. At first, a single officer approached while he was seated in a booth. When the first few times I saw this interaction, I thought the first officer was Jennifer but many reports online claim that she is the second officer on scene. >> The two-minute video begins showing a police officer with a baton in one hand wrestling with Drayton at a booth. >> Either one would be just as bad as the first officer appears to walk up and immediately kick Anthony. Before wrestling with an otherwise compliant man with [music] the baton out. >> I got my stuff. >> When told to put his hands behind his back, Anthony stands up and puts his hands behind his head. As the officer grabs an arm to cuff him, she pushes him towards a table, but when he uses his free hand to catch himself, the officers use his movement that they caused as a reason to keep beating him. The reports I mentioned earlier claim that this second officer walking in now is Jennifer Umphlett. And shortly after her appearance on scene, it shows her repeatedly striking Anthony in the head with metal handcuffs while other officers attempt to restrain him. After that interaction, the Greenville Police >> Department did not dispute that an officer had struck Anthony in the head. Their position was that the publicly circulated recording omitted the beginning of the encounter and that force was used because Drayton concealed one arm and repeatedly kicked the first officer. >> Drayton concealed his right arm in front of him and repeatedly kicked the initial responding officer, prompting a secondary officer to strike him on the head, the department said. >> But none of that is caught on camera, not from the bystander or from the CCTV in the McDonald's. Furthermore, Greenville's publicly available force policy treats striking someone in the head or neck with an impact weapon or other object as a deadly force level action. And with this many officers on scene, a skinny homeless man who may be passively resisting at most is certainly not deserving of deadly force. And of course, shortly before the recording ends, the handcuff-holding officer, who's alleged to be Jennifer, has an arm around Anthony's neck. Both of the originating officers on this call were subsequently placed on administrative assignment, which means they were likely placed on desk duty while the department investigated. Anthony's mother claimed that her son had significant mental health and developmental challenges. She maintains that the first officer kicked her son and that he was blocking or defending himself, but the police chief disputes the claim that any of the officers kicked him. Anthony was charged with assaulting a government official or law enforcement officer and resisting, delaying, or obstructing. His warrants alleged that he attempted to kick an officer in the groin and refused to provide information during the trespass investigation. And we've all seen how those typically go. At trial in September of 2025, he was found not guilty of assaulting an officer, but guilty of resisting, delaying, or obstructing. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail with credit for time served and no additional incarceration and had to pay $200 in court costs. He filed an appeal on September 17th of 2025, which moved his resisting conviction to the Pitt County Superior Court for a new jury trial. It appears the resisting case is still pending [music] and that jury trial is anticipated later in 2026. As far as body camera, the police chief claims that he's seen the body cam footage and Anthony's defense team obtained it prior to his appeal, but the footage has not been publicly released. And because this happened in North Carolina, [music] the body cam footage is subject to some of the most restrictive policies in the nation. It takes a court order to make it public. The Greenville police announced that an internal investigation was completed, but refused to disclose the result citing North Carolina's personnel record restrictions. [music] It's likely that if Anthony wins on appeal, that we'll see a lawsuit filed shortly after. Now, this brings us to about a year later on August 18th at about 3:30 in the morning, police respond to a shooting at an apartment complex just a few doors down from Unique Teel's home. When police saw the Ring doorbell, they began pounding on the door waking up the family at 3:30 in the morning. >> We can't answer the door right now, but if you'd like to leave a message, you can do it now. >> incident occurred up here and we were seeing if we could receive it on the Ring camera if we could see like the suspect on Do you have access to the Ring camera? >> Uh my job is to look at the video. It's not like it's dead. >> What do you mean it's dead? Is it working? >> It's dead. >> What? >> My Ring camera is >> Okay. Well, it's working. I don't think it's 100%. >> That's cool though. Oh yeah. Yes. >> Eventually, after threatening to keep her up all night and threatening to steal her camera, the officers entered her home without a warrant, without consent, and without exigent circumstances because she was, quote, not cooperating. >> Hi. I got a baby sleeping in there, please. >> I'm going to keep you up all night. >> How you going to bring my phone and I have nothing to do with this? >> We can't answer the door right now, but if you'd like to leave a message, you can do it now. >> I told you I'm not going to >> You're now being detained because you're not cooperating with the investigation. >> My baby is in there. >> Stop. You had You had an opportunity, and this is where we're at. You're delaying my investigation. >> I'm trying to figure out what's going on. >> What do you have to hide in the world? You had the opportunity to just pull out your phone and show me that it didn't work. >> I can't let you do that. You didn't ask for that. >> I did. >> You never asked. >> I heard it over on the staircase, and I heard it over there. I heard her ask you. >> Sir, she did not ask me. She put her phone away. >> Yes, she did. You could pull it up. That's what And what you said. You said, "I'm not doing that." >> No, I did not. I said it's dead, which it is dead. It's been dead since this morning. >> It's recording us right now. >> No, it's not recording. I promise you that. My phone is in my bedroom. >> There's like a 5-year-old girl that almost died right there, and you're and you're going to act like this like you won't >> I don't know what's going on, but I'm asleep. It's 3:00 in the morning. I got to go to work at 6:00 in the morning. >> Well, here's what's going on. >> I'm going to be up until 6:00. I guarantee you. >> Hey, it's not recording. >> Okay. Have a good night. I'm sorry I woke you up. >> When the officers entered without her permission, they handcuffed Ms. Teal inside her home, retrieved her phone from her bedroom, and held it to her face to unlock it before searching the phone for the ring footage. During this encounter, they left her 1-year-old alone in her bedroom, as Teal had told them it had not been working, and police found no useful footage of the incident. The Greenville Police Department has opened an internal affairs investigation and placed the primary officer on administrative leave. Miss Jennifer Umphlett, "The biggest issue is obvious. The home obviously receives the Fourth Amendment's strongest protections. A non-consensual entry ordinarily requires a warrant unless police can establish a recognized exception, such as emergency aid or exigent circumstances. In fact, the Greenville Police Department's own policy says, 'Residential consent searches must be voluntary and documented on a consent form. Once consent is revoked or limited, the search must stop unless a warrant is obtained.' A shooting is obviously an issue, but the fact that it happened at another apartment does not automatically authorize entry into every single neighboring residence. In the Fourth Circuit case, United States v. Curry, officers on scene of a shooting unlawfully detained a man for simply walking by the scene without first having any individualized suspicion. The court warned that emergency powers must remain narrowly targeted. And while this case is not identical, it is still undercut by the idea that nearby gunfire creates unlimited search or detention authority. Furthermore, North Carolina's resisting statute requires willful and unlawful interference with an officer who's discharging an official duty. In my opinion, the officers sealed the lawsuit when they claimed, 'You're detained because you're not cooperating.' Because it isn't a legal justification. In fact, it's an individual right. >> You're now being detained because you're not cooperating with the investigation. >> No, no, my baby is in there. >> Stop. You had You had an opportunity, and this is where we're at. You're delaying my investigation. >> There goes that cookie >> But perhaps the most egregious action other than knocking on the door at 3:30 in the morning in the first place and then entering the home unlawfully is searching and using her face to unlock her phone while she was handcuffed. Even if this was a lawful arrest, the police need a warrant before searching the digital contents of a phone. Now again, exigent circumstances remain possible, but they still require more than a generalized concern that evidence might disappear. Now of course, the Greenville police has a policy that expressly requires employees to intervene when they observe an unprofessional confrontation or policy or legal violation and that policy applies regardless of rank. So not a single officer on scene should walk from this encounter. But of [music] course, we've seen this happen time and time again and we all kind of know what's about to happen. My prediction is that none of the officers will be reprimanded, a lawsuit will be filed and the taxpayers will be the only ones to pay for the crimes of the officers. Let me know what you think in the comments down below and I'll see you guys in the next video. >> [music]
