A UCF student, who filed a brutal and excessive force complaint against a UCF police officer after being arrested a year ago, will face a jury tomorrow, along with the possibility of at least a year in jail.
On Sept. 4, 2013, Victoria King was pulled over by UCF Police Officer Timothy Isaacs for a routine brake light traffic stop, according to police.
After refusing to roll down her window completely, Officer Isaacs shattered King’s window and arrested her.
UCF Police Chief Richard Beary did not discipline Officer Isaacs, finding King’s claims to be unsubstantiated after a review of the incident.
King recorded the incident on her cell phone and Officer Issacs was also wearing a body camera which recorded the incident as well.
(Window shatters at just over 5 minutes into the video.)
Officer Isaacs claims that King was trying to roll her window up on his arm.
“I reached in the vehicle in an attempt to open the door, as I did this, King began to roll the power windows up on my right forearm,” Issacs said in the police report. “I began to feel pressure on my forearm due to the window compressing it against the frame of the window.”
King was initially arrested and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence — charges that were dropped — and resisting an officer without violence, which still remains, according to clerk of court records.
According to Wesh, King declined two plea deals, which didn’t include jail time.
KnightNews.com expects the case to go to the jury tomorrow. Continue to check back for updates.
