| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Brianna Longoria, 32, claimed she was wrongfully pulled over and arrested in Arizona because officers were fearful of getting 'kicked off [the] squad' if they did not make a DUI arrest, according to the federal court filing obtained by the Daily Mail. Longoria, who lives in California, was in Phoenix for her wedding when police accused her of running through a red light on December 29, 2024. Body camera footage made available through the court filing showed that the light was green when Longoria crossed the intersection, and the red light violation against Longoria was later voided. However, a Phoenix police officer, identified in the lawsuit as Mary Metheny, pulled Longoria over and submitted her to several DUI tests. Once the test was administered, Metheny said, 'Triple zeros. Just like I thought.' Despite allegedly showing no signs of being impaired, the lawsuit said that Longoria was arrested. At the police station, body camera footage captured Metheny and another officer, identified as Annette Hannah, discussing the need to get DUI arrests. 'They're going to kick me off squad if I don't get a DUI,' Hannah said. |
