ST. PAUL (WCCO) — St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter wants the police chief to launch an internal investigation after video surfaced of officers arresting a 13-year-old girl.
Witnesses say it happened last week at the UPS Store on University Avenue. The video shows two officers holding the teenager down on the ground. The officers ask her to roll over, but she refuses. A third officer then steps in to help get her into handcuffs and out of the store.
