After Angela Garbarino was arrested in Shreveport, Louisiana last November on suspicion of drunk driving, she wound up lying on the police station floor in a pool of her own blood with two black eyes, a broken nose, two broken teeth, and other cuts and bruises.

Garbarino says that Officer Wiley Willis beat her up after turning off the police video camera. Willis’s attorney insists that Garbarino slipped and fell when Willis tried to prevent her from leaving the room. However, Garbarino says that the extent of her injuries are proof that she was beaten.

The police video obtained by ABC News shows Garbarino demanding the right to make a phone call. “I have the right to call somebody right now and I know that,” she yells. Officer Willis instead begins handcuffing her. She wiggles away, he pulls her back sharply by her wrists, and she hits the wall and falls on the floor.

Willis pushes her down into a chair three successive times as she repeatedly stands up again, increasingly distraught and screaming, “Get away from me!” Willis is finally shown leaning over her and asking, “Do you understand me?” to which she replies, “Yeah, I understand.” Willis then walks over and turns off the camera.

When the video resumes, Garbarino is lying in the floor in a pool of her own blood. There is an apparent cut in what ABC aired, but according to KTBS in Shreveport, Willis turns Garbarino on her back, telling her, “Lay down, don’t move,” and she replies, “I can’t believe you just did what you just did. I really can’t.”

Willis has since been dismissed from the police force. KTBS states that “Willis was fired by Police Chief Henry Whitehorn earlier this month for how he treated Garbarino during the whole episode, not for her injuries.”

Willis is appealing his dismissal, and his attorney insists that his client was following procedures in turning off the camera. According to KTBS, “Authorities familiar with Shreveport police policy said a person is read their rights and gets an explanation of what’s going to happen next. That is followed by a sobriety test. If the person refuses, the officer can turn off the tape and take them to an adjoining room, handcuff them to a bench, fill out the paperwork and charge them.”

However, experts suggested to ABC that Willis should have called for female backup when Garbarino began resisting. One criminologist stated, “I think we have a situation where the arrested person is refusing to cooperate and the police officer apparently overreacted.”

    This woman was obviously drunk. She should have taken the breathalyzer and been done with it, maybe, depending on the results.

    Do you see that smiling as hes walking away? …How does one suffer 4-5 seperate face injuries from falling down? … even if she fell multiple times onto a doorknob, the chances of those having extensive injuries is very slim.

    Notice how he says “it was caused by her failure to comply with procedure”

    That means she didn’t want to be locked in a room with strange men, answering questions.

    I just shake my head and wonder, what does a cop have to do to actually get in trouble? When I see the vicious things police do when cameras are rolling, I often wonder what they do when there’s no camera. It seems the lunatics are in charge of the asylum.
