A Newark police SWAT team was looking for a gun when they searched the home on April 27
got word from the department that it was untrue. A Public Safety Department spokesperson said at the time that the internal affairs unit was investigating the matter.
The footage shows police breaking through the door of the bedroom the girl shared with her older brother when they encounter her sitting on her bed wrapped in a comforter and her brother seated on the edge of the bed with his hands up. NJAM spoke to Austin and her daughter after the two alleged publicly during a May 3 Newark City Council meeting that the girl had been handcuffed.
“I don’t know,” said Austin, 35, who works at Home Depot in Union. “I was f***** up that day — no drugs, no drinking, no nothing — waking up to that. It was scary.”
