‘Crawl Out!’: Arkansas Cop Orders Black Man Through Shattered Window Even as Open Door Blocks His Way, Then Yanks Him Out by His Hair, Video Shows
Body-camera footage shows the trooper pulling Tedrick Washington through a shattered window and punching him, while the driver faces 10 charges after a 119 mph pursuit.
- On August 19, Arkansas State Trooper Teddy Henderson punched and dragged 24-year-old passenger Tedrick Washington through a shattered window by his locs in Blytheville, Arkansas, even after the car door had opened.
- The pursuit began when authorities allege the SUV driven by 25-year-old Adonerus Johnson traveled at 119 mph; officers used a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle with Blytheville Police Department and Mississippi County Sheriff support.
- Henderson reported he punched Washington for "safety reasons" and because he "postured up," though body-camera footage shows Washington with hands raised before the window broke and eventually exiting through the open door.
- Washington faces charges of resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental operations, though he maintains he cooperated with officers and is now preparing to pursue legal action regarding the encounter.
- This incident follows an August 10 encounter where Arkansas State Trooper Moisses Arellano punched 18-year-old Alisa Hackett; Arkansas State Police Director Col. Mike Hagar declined to meet with the Legislative Black Caucus earlier this week, citing pending litigation.
