HEMPSTEAD, Texas – Residents in the greater Houston area are voicing concerns over a video of an arrest that some say appeared to show a greater use of force than necessary.
Hempstead arrest sparks concern:
According to the Prairie View NAACP chapter, the incident occurred on Sunday around 12:20 a.m.

The other side
Hempstead PD responds to claims
The Hempstead chief of police sat down for an interview with FOX 26 to discuss what happened.
What they’re saying
David Hartley said he is looking into the matter and is taking it very seriously.
He says this whole thing started as a civil issue over a pickup truck between two people, but his officers realized this person had a warrant in Brazos County.
He then said his officers told this person they were under arrest and that’s when he says the person in the video began to resist arrest.
He added that further action will be taken if necessary. At that time, there was no complaint or written allegation received by the suspect.
The person was arrested by Hempstead Police and released to the hospital for medical reasons.
What’s next
Upon further review and internal investigation, he will call in a second agency if necessary, and there is the possibility of resisting arrest charges.
