A black mother told police a white man assaulted her child. They arrested her instead.

A Fort Worth police officer has been placed on “restricted duty status” after a viral video emerged Wednesday showing the officer arresting Jacqueline Craig, a Texas mother, who called authorities to report that her 7-year-old son has been assaulted.

According to Washington post, Craig, 46, and her relatives are black, and the officer — who has not been named by police — is white.

The video begins with Craig explaining to the officer that her children told her that a man in her Fort Worth neighborhood grabbed her son by the neck after the child refused to pick up litter.

Instead, Craig was charged with resisting arrest. Brea Hymond, one of Craig’s teenage daughters, was also charged with resisting arrest and interfering with public duty.
A second 15-year-old daughter was also arrested.

In a statement posted on Twitter on Thursday, police said the department’s Internal Affairs Unit is investigating the incident, which led to the arrest of Jacqueline and her two daughters.
