Not too long ago five Lafayette police employees sued their higher-ups, per claims of corruption and policies purposefully written non-specific to avoid liabilities. That culture seems like a place someone like Aaron McNair would feel at home.

_____________________

At around 5:00 PM, I was involved in a collision where my brakes failed and I hit an Impala from behind. The couple was very nice, we established that no one was hurt or needed and ambulance, my injury was a small brush burn, and we reported the incident.

My boyfriend, Winn Lavorgna, was following me home at this time and stopped when he saw that I had wrecked. The officer that arrived to the accident was a woman (seemed very nice, not sure of her name or badge number) but concluded that my eyes looked blood shot so called Corporal Aaron McNair badge number 654, to the scene to to a sobriety test.

The eye test was administered with one of the cops flashing lights to my left (or right) and my heel to toe test was administered on gravel. He told me I was failing the heel to toe so I asked if I could remove my boots so that the rocks would not make me wobble. He mockingly laughed but agreed; I proceeded to do the heel toe test on gravel which I thought I passed to my knowledge but apparently I had not.

McNair told me I was under arrest, I said yessir, turned around, put my hands behind my back and I asked, “Sir, what am I being detained for?” As soon as I said that, I was grabbed by the back of the head and thrown down onto the hood of the car; the blow to my head knocked me out momentarily as McNair proceeded to pull me up forcefully by the cuffs, cutting into my wrist. The last thing I remember as crisply from the incident is screaming from the pain of the cuffs cutting into my right hand (this is where things get a little blurry for I think I was concussed).

I know my boyfriend was trying to film or take pictures but McNair unholstered his weapon any time Winn would try to go to his car for his phone or go to my car to move in from the road and get my personal belongings. I tried to tell my boyfriend to leave the scene and was tackled into the car by McNair hitting my knee on the way in. The female officer helped sit me up in the back of the car and whispered a small apology.

I was brought in, booked, blew a 0.0, (thats when McNair laughed mockingly and said “That’s what I thought”, then placed me in a an orange jumpsuit, told me that since I was in a collision I had to submit to a blood test, then sent to a cell next to men passed out in their own vomit.

I was not allowed to call my parents or a single phone call for that matter. I was held for 12 hours when my bail was posted the second I was booked and they kept me in and out of cuffs with a clearly infected and festering wound on my wrist.

Upon being released, my boyfriend brought me to my car to try to retrieve the 300 dollars in cash that I had just made off of a pressure washing job with my father and of course it was no where to be found after they tore apart my car looking for drugs or alcohol of which they found NONE.

aaron-mcnair-lafayette-police-employee-assaulted-madelyn-andrews-8-copblockaaron-mcnair-lafayette-police-employee-assaulted-madelyn-andrews-8-copblockI have since been treated for my injuries and also diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder by Dr. Lyle LeCorgne PHP of Lafayette Psychotherapy Associates (337-232-0060) resulting from this incident. We will be filing civil suits and I would be more than over joyed and moved to tears if you guys would share and support my story.

I have yet to be contacted from the people I was involved in the accident with (who witnessed the entire altercation along with my boyfriend) as well as the insurance companies or the court system.

The witness to this incident is Winn Lavorgna [email protected].

I ENCOURAGE ANY TYPE OF COMPLAINTS OR PHONE CALLS PLEASE HELP ME!
