A video of Styles P recently went viral where he tried to protect a woman from being seemingly unjustly detained by the cops. In the video, the woman, a delivery partner with Uber, is detained by police officers.
Another woman recorded the incident and yelled at the officers about the delivery partner being handcuffed. The woman recording the video can be heard yelling that the detainee was not resisting arrest. The rapper appears to be at the location. He encouraged the woman recording the video to continue filming and try to help the detained woman.
An officer tried to approach Styles P, and he warned the officer not to touch him. He then moves to the other side of the woman being detained. Netizens have noted the artist for trying to help the woman confront the officers.
In the latest update, Yonkers Police acknowledged the incident and said the woman allegedly escaped from the cops while being investigated for reckless driving on an unregistered moped on a busy city sidewalk. One of the officers caught her and tried to restrain her, but she refused to cooperate after which she had to be pinned down to the ground and handcuffed.
Before her arrest, a knife was found in the front compartment of the moped. The statement mentioned that an internal investigation immediately began at the scene. This included a review of all video surveillance footage, including Body-Worn Cameras, alongside interviews of all those involved. The statement also states that no force was used while detaining the woman. The statement mentioned,
“The investigation is ongoing. The attached video is the full and un-edited Body-Worn Camera footage from a primary Officer involved. The Yonkers Police Department is committed to transparency and serving the Yonkers community with service, integrity, and respect. More information regarding this interaction may be released as it becomes available.”
