WISTER — Brenda Martin says she left jail with a dislocated knee, bruised ribs and a black eye after she was pushed from behind, her legs kicked from under her and shoved into the ground by the city's police chief.

The incident resulted in more than $1,500 in medical bills, said Martin, 50. She obtained a video of the ordeal and posted it to YouTube to bring attention to the department.

Martin said she's contesting her July 13 arrest when she went to City Hall to complain about how a police investigation into the death of a Wister resident was being handled.

"You can see exactly how I was treated, but it doesn't even touch on what was done to me emotionally," she said. "I think people need to know how things are being handled here."
