"After Morris had been detained, Treadway said, it was determined that the warrants were no longer valid. She was arrested and booked on charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest, according to a police spokesman. Morris was arraigned Thursday morning and later released."

Now she's being charged with assaulting the officers fist with her face I guess, and resisting a bogus arrest. The officer should have had a solid reason to detain her, and that includes getting an affirmative on her warrants before approaching her. I wonder how this would've went down if she were black. Bet he would've had that gun out. But that's just speculation on my part.
My question is, is it reasonable to ask for a warrant for her arrest be provided during the arrest? According to Cornell
"(A) A warrant is executed by arresting the defendant. Upon arrest, an officer possessing the original or a duplicate original warrant must show it to the defendant. If the officer does not possess the warrant,
the officer must inform the defendant of the warrant's existence and of the offense charged and, at the defendant's request, must show the original or a duplicate original warrant to the defendant as soon as possible."

She clearly asked for him to check his system, and the fact he didn't know that the warrant did not exist probably means he couldn't tell her the exact charge.
Now why did he turn off his body cam? And should we believe his claims that she kicked him first, when he turned off his cam, and there is no other evidence that she did so, other than his word. And only a half kick missing after the punch, which could be seen as reactionary. And before you ask, why did she resist. I'll ask, why didn't he confirm the warrant before attempting the arrest? In a free country, one can expect not to be wrongfully arrested. The burden of proof lies in Law Enforcement's hands, not ours, he could not provide said proof.
