Kacee Fleming is a High School student at Clyde A. Erwin High School in Asheville, North Carolina.
Pushed by Police Officer
On September 5th, 2016, footage of an altercation between cops and several people was published online.
The 20 sec.
video shows police officer, Shalin Oza, push and toss Fleming into the ground.
She was coming to the defense of her brother, Dominic Fore, who police claim had an outstanding arrest warrant.
She stepped in to question why he was being arrested.
According to police, Fleming yelled at the cops and reached into her brother's pockets, forcing officers to have to 'deal with' her.
After the push, Oza appears to help Fleming back up to her feet.
Fleming was subsequently arrested and charged as an adult for resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer and misdemeanor assault on a government official.
The Asheville Police Department released a statement saying the video only demonstrates a
"Small portion of a much longer incident...
The Asheville Police Department is in the process of conducting a full administrative investigation that will review all evidence, including the video circulating on social media and body worn camera footage, in our review...T he Asheville Police Department is dedicated to providing the best possible police service and upon completion of the review will take appropriate action, if deemed necessary.'[4]
Fleming was released with no bond, but was asked to sign a written promise that she would appear in court.
She experienced minor injuries in the fall, and says that she felt belittled by the cop.
"It just made me feel belittle as a person... I felt like, at that moment, they treated me with no respect.
It ruined my birthday.
That's all I can say.
It ruined my birthday.
I definitely won't forget that."
