Cop Grabs Pregnant Mother By Her Neck And Slams Her To Ground, Kills Her Baby: Lawsuit

ALBANY, Ga. (CN) – A police officer’s use of excessive force against a pregnant woman caused her to have a miscarriage, she claims in Federal Court.

Kenya Harris sued the City of Albany, Ga., police chief John Proctor and officers Ryan Jenkins and Richard Brown, Jr. for excessive force, assault and battery and infliction of emotional distress.

Harris says she was called to the Albany Police Department in May 2011 after her minor son was arrested. After waiting five hours, she told Jenkins that she had other children at home and needed to leave but Jenkins responded with hostility, according to the complaint.

“Defendant Officer Jenkins stated that he did not appreciate the tone in which she was communicating with him, and further stated that if she continued he would take her head and ‘put it to the floor,'” the complaint states.
