Body cam footage shows woman removed from Trump rally
By: -----
Youngstown, OH - Body camera video released from the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office reveals new details involving a woman who was removed from a campaign rally held by President Donald Trump at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown earlier this month.
It’s not clear what caused the disturbance, but the woman was wearing a T-shirt that said, “Release the Epstein Files,” when deputies pulled her out of the audience.
The video shows the moments when law enforcement became aware of the disturbance and the actions they took in confronting and apprehending the woman as she was being detained by spectators in a row of seats inside the venue.
The body cam video shows spectators seated, and then a ruckus develops as people begin standing up and pulling out their cellphones to record the incident as law enforcement makes their way through the crowd to where the incident is happening. You can hear a spectator saying, “Get her, get her.”
A female deputy and another deputy apprehend the woman, escorting her out of the venue after what appears to be an initial struggle. She is walked outside and released. The deputy says, “Have a good day,” and someone off-camera says, “F*** off.”
There were at least three incidents that took place at the venue during the rally on Oct. 12, and no charges were filed in any of them.
An assistant prosecutor from the Mahoning County Prosecutor’s Office said that since the event, the woman shown in the video is now cooperating as a potential crime victim “in order to make a more detailed investigation into the matter.”
