Teen placed in a chokehold and slammed to the ground by Sugar Land Police after suffering a seizure was caught on video.
FOX 26 Reporter Gabby Hart spoke exclusively with the teen and her family after seeing the video.Part of an incident where a 16-year-old girl, who just had a seizure, was placed in a chokehold, then slammed to the ground by"If they had kids at home, and someone did that to their kids, they wouldn’t be okay with that. So I don’t know why they thought it was okay," said 16-year-old Michelle Cummings.
"I'm not in my body I guess, I don’t know what’s going on, I'm not coherent. I just, I don’t know what’s going on," Michelle explained. When police and fire crews arrived, Michelle was still suffering from memory loss following her medical episode and she didn’t want anyone to touch her. Video shows a female officer eventually place Michelle in a chokehold and then taking her to the ground.
He says they told the officer many times that she was a minor, and that she was having a seizure. Her father says he pleaded with the officers to let her gather her bearings. When Michelle came back into her right state of mind, she only knew what happened from the bruises left on her body and after watching the videos.
"Seeing that, and just seeing myself get thrown around like that and I didn’t do anything wrong, it hurt," said Michelle.
