74-Year-Old Woman Sues 3 OKC Police Officers, City After She Was Assaulted and Injured

PBM Police Incident Report: OKLAHOMA CITY — Following a police confrontation between Oklahoma City Officers and 74-year-old Ruby Jones. Jones and her attorney have filed a lawsuit in the Oklahoma County District Court against the City of Oklahoma City and the three officers involved, Dan Bradley, Ryan Staggs, and James Ray.

Officers originally showed up at Jones' house looking for her son, who was accused of making a bomb threat toward a healthcare facility. The video shows officers with their weapons already drawn. Jones asked officers for a warrant but without showing one, the officers forced their way inside the home. In the video, Jones tries to explain to the police that her son is mentally ill and unarmed. Things soon escalate when officers handcuff Jones, pushing her against the wall before she fell to the ground.
