DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A video of a DeKalb County police officer was released over the weekend. It shows an officer beating a woman with a baton as, he says, she resisted arrest.
The department was aware of the incident, but was not aware of the cellphone video that Channel 2's Sophia Choi has now obtained.
The video shows an officer hitting Katie McCrary with a baton inside a store on Glenwood Road.
ail records show McCrary has a history of arrests dating back to 2014, mainly for minor offenses, including theft by taking, loitering and disorderly conduct.
Now, she’s facing a charge of obstructing law enforcement officers for this incident, which left her so hurt, the jail sent her to the hospital to get checked out.
