Fearing she would consume all the evidence, police used an ASP striking instrument and pepper spray to keep a pregnant woman from eating evidence of what they thought might be marijuana.

Des Moines police arrested Barbra Brown and transported her to Broadlawns Medical Center for treatment of possible marijuana consumption. Police claim they were trying to preserve the evidence.

Ms. Brown managed to eat all of the suspect material with her face buried in the snow while an officer delivered knee blows to her side and sprayed her with mace. She was charged with public consumption for the alcohol she was in possession of.

Oaky, this is wrong on so many levels. First off she is an idiot for drinking while pregnate. Second no police officer should ever hit a pregnate woman. Even to save evidence. I mean these are grown men, pick her up and hold her away from what she is eating. Why the need to knee her in the side?

maybe she's the size of that bulldyke that adam sandler puts in his movies? lol...

I do agree though, what the hell was he thinking?

they're really asking for a lawsuit there. what makes them think that for any reason it's ok to beat up a pregnate lady? they could have turned that kid into a retard...
