Bite Back or Punch Forward | California News
Description
A tense Fourth of July cleanup at Waldie Plaza turned violent when officers attempted to arrest JaMarlette Hardy, who bit an officer during a struggle—prompting a retaliatory punch. Hardy, trying to assist an elderly neighbor, claimed the force was excessive and said she’s since suffered migraines and sleep issues. Residents condemned the officer’s response, while a former police instructor defended the punch as necessary to prevent escalation. The officer is on paid leave as an independent investigation begins, amid ongoing scrutiny of the Antioch PD’s record on excessive force.
