SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Cellphone video captured the rough arrest of a man in Southwest Miami-Dade.
The rough arrest took place outside United Beauty Supply at around midnight, Friday. Officers could be seen throwing punches at the man as he laid on the ground.
“The officer kept hitting them on the head, hitting him on the ribs, the face. The officer on the other side hitting in the ribs and the face,” said Priscella MacKey, the mother of Javaris Jarrelle Swanson and Quinton Price Charles.
They ultimately arrested four men, Swanson, Charles, Ramzi Wadi & Ahmed Wadi. Police said Swanson & Charles resisted arrest after pulling them over for driving erratically.
The arrest report states Swanson “began to actively resist arrest by tensing his arms underneath his body, not allowing officers to place handcuffs on him … Mr. Swanson was given multiple commands to release his arms to which he refused.”
Officers said, after a lengthy struggle, Swanson was ultimately taken into custody. In addition to the arrests, police also seized 3 firearms.
“He has every right to feel threatened, beat by five or 10 officers on his back as one person unarmed. It’s unacceptable,” said Normekia Bourne, a sister-in-law.
In 2021 an arrest warrant was issued for Swanson after he ran off from another traffic stop and altercation with police.
Court records revealed Swanson was previously convicted of attempted murder & armed robbery.
The MDPD released a statement reading in part, “In our continued efforts of full transparency, we immediately initiated an internal affairs investigation into the matter with our Professional Compliance Bureau. The officers involved have been reassigned to administrative duties. We will continually evaluate this case, as the internal affairs process continues.”
Swanson remains in jail, charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, resisting arrest & reckless driving.
Charles was charged with possession by a firearm by a convicted felon, resisting against an officer with violence, possession of cannabis.
He has since bonded out.
Ramzi Ahmed Wadi & Ahmed Wadi both were charged with resisting arrest & aggravated battery.
