REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures a DUI suspect claiming her children are home alone as officers attempt to place her under arrest after forcibly removing her from her vehicle. This bodycam video documents how parental claims and legal arguments complicate what began as a standard DUI stop. In this police bodycam footage, an officer explains why physical force became necessary: "I yanked you because I told you you were under arrest and you refused to exit your vehicle." This clear justification, captured on the bodycam, establishes that multiple verbal commands preceded the physical extraction of 46-year-old Shawn Mullarkey. The officer attempts to gain cooperation: "Are you going to step up and be cooperative?" Instead of complying, Mullarkey begins a legal argument: "No. My attorney..." When the officer repeats the request for cooperation, she continues her legal claim: "Are you going to understand that my attorney has filed a motion to quash this... My attorney has filed a motion to quash this." As officers prepare to transport her, they issue clear warnings about additional charges: "We're going out here this way. You hit us, you do anything stupid towards us, we're on any charges. If you hit us or anything, let's go." Mullarkey denies physical aggression: "I didn't hit you," prompting the officer to reiterate: "I asked you out of the car. I told you you were under arrest." Mullarkey expresses concern about public embarrassment: "Now you got a whole show for your neighbors here," before insulting the officer: "You are a dick." She then introduces a critical claim about children: "My children don't have anybody at home right now. You're going to put my kids alone in danger." Rather than focusing on the alleged children at home, she pivots to demands: "I need to call my attorney. I'm not getting in that car until I call my attorney." She repeats this demand multiple times: "I'm calling my attorney. No. I'm calling my attorney. No. I'm calling my attorney." According to court records, this 2022 incident in Hinsdale, Illinois ultimately led to Mullarkey pleading guilty to aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, aggravated assault to a peace officer, and resisting or obstructing a police officer. Her plea agreement required participation in the DuPage County Mental Illness Court Alternative Program. This police bodycam footage highlights how suspects often introduce claims about children, legal motions, and attorney calls during arrests - creating complex situations officers must navigate while maintaining focus on lawful procedures during DUI arrests.
