After 33-year-old Satchell was asked by the manager to leave the club following an argument over food, the manager asked Miami Gardens Police Officer Jordy Yanes Martel to issue a trespassing warning.
A video, taken by a passenger in Satchell’s car, not only captured the encounter, but also proves Martel made false statements in his written account of the incident.
Martel claimed Satchell closed the car window on his hand, and kicked and punched him in the lip while resisting arrest.
“As a result of Martel’s actions, Ms. Satchell suffered abrasions to her stomach from the Tasers, bruises and abrasions on her arms and bruises on her legs,” Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle said.
“By filing these criminal charges today against former Miami Gardens officer Jordy Yanes Martel, we are saying that these actions are just plain wrong.”
