North Texas police held an Arkansas family at gunpoint and handcuffed their young son during a traffic stop this month after an officer’s typo led police to think the family’s car was stolen, newly released body-camera footage shows.
Even though the woman, who is Black, repeatedly told police that they owned the car and corrected an officer who had wrongly said they were from Arizona, police handcuffed the son as his mother cried out.
“We made a mistake,” Frisco Police Chief David Shilson said in a statement, confirming that police entered “an incorrect registration return, leading the officer to believe that the vehicle was possibly stolen.”Advertisement“Any discipline related to the stop is still being determined,” Andrade said in an email.
At around 8:30 a.m. on July 23, the family had left a Residence Inn in Frisco, about 30 miles north of Dallas, and were on their way to an AAU basketball game that morning, the woman recalled on TikTok. The group included the woman, her son, her husband, who coaches their AAU team, and her nephew, she said.
“I make a complete circle, they tell me to just keep my hands up or they’ll shoot,” the mother said on TikTok. “They made that very clear.”Advertisement“Yeah, I’m from Arkansas … I’m a nurse, I’ve never done anything in my life,” the mother replies. She later adds: “This is scaring the hell out of me. I have bad anxiety.”
Nearly 20 minutes pass before other officers on scene let the officer know that the check of the license plate was done in the wrong state.Another officer tells his female colleague, “They were run out of Arizona.”“It looks like I made a mistake,” the officer tells the family after the stop was called off, according to video. “So I ran it AZ for Arizona, instead of AR — and that’s what happened. … That’s on me.
