The Jacksonville woman says she asked a police officer - who had parked in her driveway - to leave and that she was arrested after the officer entered her home without a warrant. In many instances, the footage from the video -- released by the State Attorney’s Office -- has been redacted. It led to Williams being wrestled into custody, with the arresting officer claiming that Williams kicked and scratched him. Officer: “Just reading emails.”It’s an explanation the officer repeats several times in the footage, defending his parking spot to other officers as well. Notably, in the new video files, the footage is redacted at any point the officer enters the house.

“I told him ‘I’m going to call 911 to report you.’ He laughed at me and was like ‘Ha! Williams asked, “Why are y’all here and why are y’all smirking?”Video shows the officer moving toward Williams, then walking up the stairs. One officer asked the arresting officer, “Why did you park here?” The officer responded, “Why not? Would an officer go to another type of neighborhood and sit in someone’s driveway without permission? The answer is more than likely no.”The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has declined to comment as this is an active criminal investigation.

In a video of the incident, which was captured by Brittany Williams boyfriend, it appears an officer can be heard saying he was assaulted by Williams.
