An Alabama police department said it was investigating the arrest of a 25-year-old black woman at a Waffle House by three white officers over the weekend. The police department in Saraland, located just outside Mobile, said it was aware of video posted to social media that shows officers pushing the woman to the floor, during which her chest becomes exposed, and restraining her.
The video captured one officer telling the woman on the floor that he was about to break her arm.
"When the facts of the investigation are gathered, we will have a response," the police department said Sunday in a statement posted to Facebook.
The arrested woman was identified as Chikesia Clemons, CBS affiliate WKRG-TV reports. Her mother, Chiquitta Clemons-Howard, told AL.com that the incident stemmed from her daughter asking for plastic utensils as she was placing her order at the Waffle House early Sunday.
