She was assaulted while in police custody, hands behind her back, drunk. I say assaulted because you can see a gash on her head that would not seem likely in a fall, the officer claimed she fell. She "fell" after he turned the camera off.
Original story, and video here:
Second video with sounds of missing tape time here:
Officer Willis was originally fired, but later reinstated with the police board saying HIS rights were violated because polygraph operator Wayne Nissen failed to record his polygraph examination of Willis. Polygrapher Nissen said he was unaware of the police bill of rights or its recording requirements. No charges filed against the officer. $400,000 civil suit settlement. After the officer was reinstated, e.g., got his $56,992 representing 18 months back pay, he subsequently resigned from the Shreverport, LA PD before the appeal could be filed on his reinstatement.
