“Ever since this happened. Sorry, I am so disappointed in my government. It’s not funny,” Penny told ABC15 while holding back tears.
It took the federal government more than six months to publicly release the body camera video.
“We have an arrest warrant,” a federal agent says on the video.
“For me?” responds Penny.
“Yes. For you,” the officer says.
“Who am I?” asks Penny.
Multiple agents then yell at Penny, “Turn away. Turn around. Turn away. We’ll discuss it later. Turn away. You’re gonna get hit."
Penny had no idea why federal agents were there or how they could have a warrant for her arrest.
“I truly felt like I was being kidnapped,” Penny told ABC15 in response to what happened.
ABC15 obtained the videos through a federal Freedom of Information ACT request.
“You don’t want to confirm who I am?” Penny asks officers again on the body camera video.
The officer responds by yelling back, “Put your hands behind your back. We’ll discuss that later.”
“It just makes me more angry than before,” Penny said in an interview with ABC15 after watching the video.
