would allege the deputy took off his body cam and put it on the ground. This is what
it looked like when Trigg's mom, Antony Gray, showed up to the scene.
Nikia said she couldn't breathe because of Martin. You could see the evidence right here.
Martin is brutalizing Trig well adjusted on a minute. Well. It appeared this all stem
from read her daughter if the writer for anger. First off, let's talk about the officer who
straddled Nikia Trigg and Antonique Gray.
Aside from brutalizing the innocent, according to a report by TMZ via the family's lawyer
Kim T. Cole, Deputy Connor Martin was COVID positive that day. This is a point CBS News
reported on as well. highly concerning, Is the understatement of the century. Cole says
Antonique tested negative Monday, but they're still waiting on results for Nikia who just
went in for a test herself on Tuesday.
Still, despite testing negative TMZ was told Antonique lost five days of work because she
quarantined until she got her test results back. She's out a week's worth of income,
even with Martin being on leave, activists, and the girl's relatives, including her mother
who was arrested during the incident say he should be fired.
And the news released by the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office, they claimed Martin used
an approved control technique to detain Trigg after responding to a 911 call. That a young
woman was suicidal and walking into traffic in an attempt to get hit by a car. She denied
doing so by the way.
Aside from the sheriff's office, the family is facing backlash from the community, and
according to Cole, death threats which forced them to flee their home in Forney, Texas.
Cole says the death threats are pouring in via social media, which she expects to intensify.
TMZ reported as for why the family fears law enforcement will retaliate We're told they
have a general fear of the Sheriff's deputies after prior experiences close family friends
have had with them.
We're told Nekia, who just graduated from high school is worried about her mother facing
jail time and fear she may have no place to live if Antonique has to serve time behind
bars.She was probably afraid that she was about to be arrested. Or worse, said Lisa
Daly of the nonprofit treatment Advocacy Center, which aims at broadening access to mental
health care.
He is expecting a person who is in a crisis. To be able to calm down and follow commands
and I don't know how realistic that is. Per CBS, Trigg was taken to the hospital for a
mental health evaluation and released 15 minutes later according to her mother.
