He twisted her arms as he handcuffed her wrists and was verbally abusive. Instead of telling her why she was being arrested, he crudely through her in the back of the police car.
When the officer learned that the actual suspect was arrested a few miles away, he released Casey without a word. He did not apologize or say anything. As he drove away, she rubbed the bruises on her wrists and cried. Since that day, Casey had never trusted police officers.
