New Videos Intensify Complaints Against Officer Filmed Beating Teen: Report

NORTH BAY, CA — A second video involving a Fairfield Police Department officer already under investigation has ignited new outrage.

In Fairfield, residents packed a City Council meeting Tuesday to condemn what they described as a pattern of excessive force.

Newly surfaced footage from a 2025 traffic stop appears to show Officer Bianca Camacho pulling 18-year-old Myah Hamilton from a vehicle by her hair while the young woman pleads with the officer not to drag her out of the car.

In the video she can be heard yelling, "Stop! Can you stop please? What the f —? She’s pulling my hair!"

At the time, Camacho was known as Bianca Brown. A passenger filmed the incident.

Hamilton had kept the cellphone footage of her arrest private. But Hamilton said when she saw videos of the arrest of Williams last week by the same officer, she reached out to Williams' family and released the footage from her arrest, according to Bay City News.

Camacho in the video can be seen pulling Hamilton by first her hoodie and then by grabbing her by the hair with both hands.

The officer dragged Hamilton out of the vehicle and onto the ground with the help of at least one other police officer. According to Hamilton, who is 4 feet, 11 inches tall and 115 pounds, she was then transported to jail, where she stayed for several hours, Bay City News reported.

Hamilton was charged with resisting arrest and reckless driving, the lawyer representing her, Peter Johnson, said.

Once that case ends, Johnson said he will file a civl lawsuit on Hamilton's behalf against the Fairfield Police Department and Camacho for false arrest and use of excessive force.

2026 Arrest and Beating

The video emerged days after cellphone footage spread online showing Camacho striking 16-year-old Maurice Williams multiple times during an altercation at Fairfield High School.

Williams’ family and supporters have since organized rallies and public protests, accusing the department of using unnecessary force against the teenager and mishandling the aftermath of the arrest.

Fairfield Police Chief Dan Marshall said the department reassigned Camacho to administrative duties while an outside agency investigates the campus confrontation, according to media reports.

"I am sorry this incident occurred," Marshall said. He didn't identify what outside body would conduct the review or when it would be completed.

"We will carefully evaluate the totality of the investigation's findings, for discipline, additional training, opportunities for improvements, or policy changes within the department," Marshall said.

The chief said officers used what the department described as “distraction strikes” while attempting to gain control of Williams’ hands during the arrest.

Marshall also said the department released body-camera footage because rumors circulating online falsely claimed the teenager had already been handcuffed before officers struck him. He was not, Marshall said.

Warning: The video below contains graphic langage and violence.

However, a bystander video appears to show a school resource officer, James Lewis, restraining Williams before Camacho forces the teenager to the ground, punching him while shouting, "Give me your ******* hands!"

In he video he appears to be using his hands to ward off the blows to his head.

Family members said Williams has experienced headaches and dizzy spells since the confrontation.

During Tuesday’s council meeting, community advocate Rodney Alamo Brown criticized the officer’s conduct in both videos and called for her dismissal.

Brown told council members the footage made him cringe because it appeared to show another example of force that exceeded the situation. He argued neither incident justified the level of violence seen on the recordings, according to media reports.
