The Dixon family expected that Tuesday, June 9, would be just another day to enjoy at the Fairfield Aquatic Center, located 25 miles north of Cincinnati, Ohio. But one of the boys forgot his swimming trunks — a small infraction of the pool's code of conduct that led to an encounter with police that catapulted the family right into a raging debate over the issues of race and excessive police force.

The Dixons were reportedly asked to leave the pool when a pool employee noticed that a member of their party didn't have appropriate swimwear. When a staff member refused to give the Dixons a refund on their entry fee, things began to escalate, and the police were called.

"Everything's going crazy and they're video taping, trying to make it look like a racist thing and it's not at all," a pool employee told the operator after dialing 911. "They were breaking our policy and we told them they couldn't be here anymore. It's really scary and I don't feel safe."

Multiple bystanders recorded video footage of what followed on their cellphones, with the latest video released on Tuesday. Both the Dixons and the police department claim that the footage supports their contrasting versions of the altercation.

In the video, Krystal Dixon, 33 years old and six months pregnant, walks past a police officer to get her remaining kids out of the pool. Things quickly become chaotic. The younger members of the family get upset when they see her interacting with officers, particularly after he grabs her arm. Surveillance footage shows Krystal struggling with a police officer. A young girl tries to get between them. Moments later, about seven more teenagers are surrounding the scuffle. Another bystander called 911 and told the operator: "They're resisting arrest. There's one officer, they're all putting their hands on him."

In the video that was released on Tuesday, the teenage girls are audibly distressed and crying. At the time the video was recorded, there are multiple officers present and are seen physically restraining the teenagers and using pepper spray.

Fairfield Police Chief Mike Dickey stands by the officers' claim that they were just doing their job. Where the Dixons and their allies see police misconduct in the video footage, Dickey sees resistance.

"I think the videos, including their videos, tell a different story," he remarked to Cincinnati's local news channel WLWT. "It's clear to me in the videos they were non-compliant."

Krystal and Maya Dixon, the two adults present at the incident, face charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Both pled not guilty in court this morning. They will next appear in court in July.

Five members of the family, including Krystal, were taken to the hospital immediately after the incident. According to reports, a 12-year-old girl was also arrested and charged with assault and resisting arrest. The police say she attacked them. The Dixons claim that she sustained a fractured jaw and broken ribs as a result of being slammed against a police vehicle. A 15-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

"I could surmise or opine on why [pool staff] wanted them out," Clyde Bennett, an attorney for Dixon, told local media. "They said they're not appropriately dressed. I'm not convinced that's why they wanted them out of the pool."
