Garbarino's lawyer said officer Wiley Willis didn't follow procedure in handling the woman, and that's why it happened.

Authorities familiar with Shreveport police policy said a person is read their rights and gets an explanation of what's going to happen next. That is followed by a sobriety test.

If the person refuses, the officer can turn off the tape and take them to an adjoining room, handcuff them to a bench, fill out the paperwork and charge them.

Willis turned off the tape in this case. The question is what happened while it was off. When the officer turns the tape back on to document her injuries, the woman is lying in a pool of blood.

Willis was fired by Police Chief Henry Whitehorn earlier this month for how he treated Garbarino during the whole episode, not for her injuries.

Whitehorn said there was not enough evidence to arrest the officer. No one knows for sure what happened while the tape was off. Willis said she fell. Garbarino believes she was beaten up.
