Emelder Price, 30, filed a lawsuit in the San Mateo County Superior Court, suing Redwood City and Police Officer Aziz Obaidi for the excessive force used during her arrest.
Officer Obaidi approached Price's car and 'violently yanked' her out by her left arm, confusing her with an investigation ongoing at the scene.
According to Price, when Obaidi was about to handcuff her, aggressive actions caused her shirt to lift, exposing her breasts to bystanders.
Price was arrested and charged with being drunk in public, though she maintained her sobriety, resulting in a day spent in custody, missing work and unable to care for her child.
