Greenacres Police Officer Jared Nash is accused of breaking a 14-year-old girl's arm during an arrest attempt that was initiated because the officer attempted to view a video on her cell phone without a search warrant. The officer then arrested the teen for resisting arrest.

"[She] then began to twist and pull her arm around in an increased physical level trying to pull away," Nash claims. "I then tried placing [her] left hand behind her back to secure her in handcuffs due to her pushing me, her increasing attempts to break away from my grasp, and continuing to try hand the phone to [her friend] despite my orders not to."

Or he could have just acted calm instead of trying to cuff a girl who he though could provide evidence.
