A video of a 26-year-old New Orleans man Donrell Breaux being arrested in his own living room has gone viral. Authorities insist he was cuffed and hauled away for resisting an officer of the law.
Police at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office say Breaux's neighbor was being disturbed by noise coming from Breaux's residence. The neighbor reported a disturbance to police and told the attending officer he could smell marijuana coming from the house.
The attending officer then headed for Breaux's house.
There, the accounts differ. The officer says his intention was to issue a misdemeanor summons but changed his mind upon smelling marijuana. The officer says his request for ID was refused. Breaux however says the officer immediately tried to arrest him and had handcuffs at the ready.
The officer can be seen forcing his way into Breaux's home as he attempts to close the door.
Breaux can be heard asking the officer why he is being arrested.The only reason given is 'resisting an officer.' A second officer then assists with the arrest.
He was charged with battery of a police officer, resisting arrest with violence, and disturbing the peace by using offensive, derisive or annoying words, according to an arrest report. He was released Monday (March 31) on $6,250 bond.
Breaux said he believes the arrest was unlawful and questioned the relationship between the responding officer and the neighbor. "I knew [the officer] was a personal friend [of the neighbor]," Breaux told local media, "and I thought it was an unlawful arrest. I don't have to submit to an unlawful arrest."
