Incredibly Scary Situation: Charges Dropped Against Black Woman In Wrongful Police Stop In Virginia

Prosecutors in Virginia dismissed charges against a Black woman in a wrongful police stop.

Juanisha Brooks was physically pulled from her car by state trooper Robert Hindenlang. His reason, her tail lights were out. When asked why she was stopped, Hindenlang told Brooks to step out of her car.

The officer also believed Brooks was driving under the influence. She took two breathalyzer tests. Her blood-alcohol level was zero – both times.

Brooks was charged with resisting arrest, eluding police, failing to have her headlights on, and reckless driving.

After prosecutors viewed dashcam footage of the incident, they determined the stop was without proper legal basis, dismissed all charges, and called for an internal investigation conducted by state police.
