Yeayo Russell filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the department and the deputies involved in the July 2022 traffic stop in Palmdale, northeast of Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — A woman who was punched in the face by a deputy as she held her baby sued the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, alleging excessive force and wrongful arrest.“This case is about more than just punches,” said Jamon Hicks, one of Russell's attorneys. “It is about the way the deputies treated this mother.”
Russell was a passenger in a car that was stopped for driving at night without headlights. The deputies smelled alcohol and saw three babies who, instead of being in car seats, were being held, authorities said. Deputies try to persuade Russell to give them the child, and she responds, “You’ll have to shoot me dead before you take my baby,” the video shows. As she resists, a deputy punches her several times in the face, and she is handcuffed.
Russell is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages against the 10 deputies involved in her arrest and jailing.
