Police are investigating after a video appeared to show an Ohio police officer repeatedly hitting a woman in the head during a confrontation at a McDonald's.
The actions of two officers involved in the attempted arrest, identified by police as Sergeant Todd Stanley and Officer Tim Zellers, are under investigation, Butler Township Police Chief John Porter said at a press conference.
Hancock's criminal attorney, Ben Swift, told ABC News that Hancock had her arraignment Wednesday morning. Swift said he plans to file motions on the case because he does not believe the charges are valid.Latika Hancock attends a press conference with her attorney in Butler Township, Ohio, after an incident at a McDonald's restaurant on Jan. 16, 2023."I'm not going to be George Floyd," Hancock said, describing what she was thinking during the incident.
"The officers are given options and until I have all the information, I'm not gonna comment on what is the appropriate response-action to this yet," said Porter at the press conference. Hancock said she left, but wanted to stay to talk to police to tell them what happened and to either get her money back, or get her sandwich.
