“When they put the handcuffs on I thought, `Wait a minute, this has
got to be a joke,’” recalled Latoya Harris, describing the arrest of her
9-year-old daughter last May. “The look on my daughter’s face went from
humiliation and fear, to a look of sheer panic.”
At the time, the girl was wearing a bathing suit and a towel, still
damp from running through a neighborhood sprinkler. She was taken away
in handcuffs by officers David McCarthy and Matthew Huspek,
fingerprinted, photographed, but never charged with a crime. She was
held at police headquarters for an hour before her frantic mother — who
didn’t have a car — could retrieve the girl from her captors.
The stated purpose of the visit was to investigate a playground fight
that had taken place a few days earlier. The actual purpose of the
arrest was probably to serve some depraved impulse on the part of the
officers to assert their supposed authority over an intimidated but
uncooperative child. MORE
