Woman files lawsuit against Gilbert Police officer for use of excessive force

GILBERT, Ariz. - A woman is suing a Gilbert Police officer following her arrest last year. She claims the officer used excessive force that led to injuries.

VIDEO: FOX 10's Matt Rodewald reports.

The bodycam video from the March 2018 incident begins with a friendly exchange, but it's very clear that Samantha Glass was drunk and did not intend to cooperate. It's one particular move by officer Christopher Robinson seen in the video against an unarmed drunk suspect that is being called into question.

Glass pled guilty to extreme DUI and interfering with a police officer, but she was never charged with vehicle burglary, which was the reason officers were called in the first place. 

Gilbert Police say they're not commenting on pending litigation.
