Maam, open the car open the car open the door im going to break the window. Reporter it was early evening on the last day of mar march 2015 when lawson was pulled over for driving while suspended. Officer shane sawyer a 14 year veteran approaches lawsons vehicle after being directed to it by the officer who spotted her. Hes not heard on tape asking for her license or registration. Sawyers banks on the window a few times and realizing lawson is refusing to open the car, he pulls out his baton and strike. About one minute after approaching the vehicle, sawyers is seen walking to the rear passenger window and begins to try to smash it. He also calls a supervisor for approval and gets it. Im trying to force entry n now. Do what you got to do. Lawson calls 911 from inside the car on her cell. Can you please call a state trooper, please . Maam hes trying break my window. He is trying to break my window. They going to break my wind window. Open the car now in court lawson testified she opened her window a crack and asked for state police to be called. Why . Because she and officer sawyer has scuffled two years earlier during an arrest in her see brac home. Lawson had filed this federal lawsuit against the city and sawyers based on that 2013 incident. Claimed she was frightened to see him standing at her car window. Im going to break the window you actually believed that your life was in danger. Yes, sir. Possibly you were going to be killed as a result of this . Yes, sir. You are under arrest. You already beat me up. You are under arrest. Hes beating me. Hes beating me. Help me jesus hes beating me. Put cuffs on her. Please, sir, my arm is stuck. Stop resisting. My arm is messed up. Sawyers under aggressive questioning from lawsons defense attorney testified he recognized lawson only after he busted her window and entered the car. And he argued he had no obligation to withdrawal once lawson was resisting arrest, had to maintain control at all times and act quickly. Stop fighting. You scratched my hand. Do you understand me. Sawyers said it was frustrated with her but not angry. Stop resisting. Im not resisting, sir. You are. Put your hands behind your back now. I got a frozen shoulder. Please, jesus. Lawson testified her shoulder was frozen from life long diabetes. She said she did not strike the officers as they claim and she did not know her license was suspended.

Shell dot time in an alternative program. Whats your reaction to being convicted on suspended driving driving while suspended . Can you talk to that any any what. No. On the more serious charges of harassment, hinder obstruction and resisting arrest the judge rules she was not guilty. The judge said she found officer sawyers testimony contradictory and not entirely credible. Bridgetons chief of police michael, refused on camera interview. But for the record he said, he found the ruling ridiculous. He said that he supports the system but not the ruling and he says that convicting lawson of resisting arrest should have been a no brainer. Lawsons attorneys say, justice was served. I think the judge was under considerable political pressure here. I think she was really in the spotlight and i think it took a lot of guts to do what she did.
