White III told officers that during the argument, Finney struck him in the face, leaving a small abrasion on his lip. White III said he pushed her off in self-defense, and an unidentified third party corroborated White III’s statement. While trying to detain Finney, she resisted, yelling, “I’m not getting in the car!” bracing her back against the door. Officers had to go to the other side of the patrol car and tried to pull her in with her handcuffs until she complied. Finney was taken into custody for resisting arrest and domestic assault.
