An 18-year-old driver has filed a civil rights complaint following a violent traffic stop involving Arkansas State Trooper Moisses Arellano. The teenager was initially pulled over for driving 71 mph in a 60-mph zone while running her vehicle's hazard lights, later explaining to the officer that she was rushing home due to a broken car window.

Dashcam footage from the incident shows the officer aggressively throwing the girl to the ground and punching her in the face while she begged to call her mother. In the official Arkansas State Police report, Trooper Arellano stated the girl was "being difficult," writing: "After giving multiple commands for her to roll over without compliance, I delivered one closed-fist strike to the left side of her face in an attempt to gain compliance."

The release of the video has sparked widespread outrage online. While the Arkansas State Police have confirmed an internal investigation is underway, as of August 12, Officer Arellano has not been placed on administrative leave.

Narrative/Summary of Incident:

On the evening of March 8, 2024, my wife was driving my family and myself home from my daughter's track meet at Clovis East High School. While driving, an animal was on the road, causing her to adjust her route and make a U-turn. As we passed a vehicle with its high beams on, the vehicle began tailgating us. It was later revealed to be a Fresno County Sheriff's vehicle. The officer turned on his flashers but then stopped at the intersection of Sand Creek and Pebble Lane instead of approaching our home. My wife parked in the driveway, but after waiting for the officer and receiving no approach, she proceeded to park further up the driveway. When my wife and younger daughter (7 years old) walked down the driveway to speak to the officers, two sheriff's deputies pointed assault rifles at them and detained them.

Despite several calls from myself to the sheriff’s station, I was unable to determine what was happening. I later learned that the initial officer falsely claimed that I had been driving the vehicle and was armed with a firearm, which was patently false. I've recently received body cam video showing the arresting officer, Deputy Esquivel, admitting to lying about seeing an assualt rifle and claiming he saw a handgun instead. The deputies refused to release my wife and 7 year old daughter, claiming they were holding them "for their own safety." They were locked in the back of a sheriff’s vehicle without food, water, or access to a restroom for 13 hours, or allowed to speak to anyone, even being forced to urinate on the side of the road.

As the night progressed, several other sheriff's vehicles and a SWAT team surrounded our home. The officers continuously demanded that I leave the property, threatening me with K9 units and patrolling our home with drones. Around 2:30 AM, the SWAT team brought an armored vehicle onto the property, broke our window, and attempted to fly a drone inside our home. They did not have a warrant at the time, which was only issued hours later at 6:00 AM. The warrant was then texted to my phone.

After 12 hours of harassment, the SWAT team arrested my daughter and I. When my daughter attempted to record my arrest, an officer grabbed her, slamming her hand on the bed of our family truck, knocking the phone from her hand. Despite her request for a female officer, she was denied and subjected to a search. Her phone was confiscated without a warrant, and the officers later claimed they would obtain one retroactively. Now, we've received video from her phone that was retrieved by the Fresno County Sheriff's Department without a warrant.

On the arrival of Detective Tucker, there was a collaboration between himself and Deputy Esquivel on changing the initial firearm from an assault rifle to a pistol. Detective Tucker then wrote a statement of probable cause leaving out key details such as Deputy Esquivel's lie, the fact that they've already been on the property without a warrant, and the my wife and daughter have been detained. The search warrant and combined arrest warrant was served via text message in a blurry text that could not be read. A Deputy named Davis repeatedly asked to swap my wife and 7 year olds detention for my arrest via text message. Deputy Esquivel and Detective Tucker then falsify their own police reports by creating untrue events that didn't occur. The District attorney's Office refuses to take my complaint.

They are pursuing criminal charges against me even though there is no evidence because I did not do anything wrong. No weapon was found at our residence. The district attorney is trying to intimidate me and keep me from making any claims against the Fresno County Sheriff's Department by pursuing charges. A charge of child abuse was added later on without any evidence of child abuse or any mandated reporting to child protective services as required by law. The district attorney Alexander Torres has also listed my wife and daughter as witnesses for the prosecution without interviewing them. They are tampering with my wife and daughter as witnesses against the Fresno County Sheriff's. The district attorney is in possession of a cell phone that was taken from my daughter by Fresno County Sheriff's by force.

A search warrant was never given for the cell phone or the contents of the cell phone. The contents of the cell phone have been provided to the court as evidence for the district attorney and I received this evidence from my public defender.
