In a video produced by the local NAACP chapter, Hargrove said she was stopped by police and asked to hand over her backpack. Things escalated quickly after she asked if they had a warrant.



"They never told me why they stopped me but after they beat and threw me in the cop car, that's when they explained that there was some guy with a machete that was inside the grocery store and they were looking for him and I matched the description,” Hargrove said in the NAACP video.



What lead up to the incident happened when Bakersfield Police responded to a call of a suspect with a machete at the shopping area where Hargrove was. According to the police report obtained by 23ABC, the alleged suspect was described as a black male in his 30s with a goatee, around 5’10”, 160 pounds, wearing a white T-shirt, and holding a pink duffle bag and a black backpack.
