Siobhan Householder had her mouth forcefully opened by a sheriff’s deputy in Summit County, OH after she took a prescription Tylenol while waiting in domestic relations court.
After the cop told her to spit it out, she said she couldn’t and before being able to explain that she had already swallowed one and that it was prescription Tylenol for a problem tooth, the sheriff threw her on the ground and forcefully opened her mouth.
Police state that she was actually under arrest and that it was for her safety. She states she was unaware she was under arrest because she came to court on her own.
“He said, ‘What are you taking?’ and I said, Tylenol,” she recalled. “And he said, ‘Spit it out’ and I said, ‘I can’t.’ I meant to say I can’t spit it out because I had already swallowed the other pills.
“But I didn’t even get that part out before he just yanked me up and threw me down on the ground and was trying to dig these pills out of mouth.
“And there was one [pill] in there and I couldn’t even get it out because he kept shoving his hand in my mouth and squeezing my face and pulling my hair at the same time.”
“They were acting like I wanted to escape from Alcatraz. It was awful,” she said.
She was also charged with resisting arrest after the incident.
Police State USA states that you must submit to their authority completely or suffer the consequences.
In the words of rage against the machine
“Freedom, yeah right!”
America sucks
Some ppl have to take pills by dr perscript!!!
Some police have mental health issues, no knowledge of basic thought skills, code of silence, sheepies, follow orders, without questions…. no understanding of laws…..
A person should never be arrested for doing something that isn’t illegal. As far as resisting arrest, they had no reason to arrest her in the first place! This has become the catch all phrase for when cops have no real charges to bring against you. How can you be arrested for not breaking any laws?
wow. Freedom is big in this country.
STUPID.
That is Assault and he should be under arrest for that action!!Where is Justice for the people he is supposed to be protecting???
Due to illegal drug use I’m sure they (the cops) have their orders…let’s just suppose for a minute that it was a drug that would hurt or kill her – then what? People, including many here on this site, would be condemning the cop for not stopping her. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Patrick Dille,i think they ALL do.
Can you spell Law suit!!
