In September 2012, my mother Mayra Mejia, who was at that time 60 years old and physically disabled, was in her NC home preparing for a yard sale when another resident of the neighborhood threatened her life.  She called 911 for help. An officer from the High Point Police Department came out but said there was nothing he could do and left without even investigating the threats.  He returned minutes later and accused my mother of stealing a yard sale sign and threatened to arrest her unless she returned the sign. My mother denied any involvement and the officer left.  My mother got in her car and drove around the neighborhood to see what was going on, only to find the officer at the home of the neighbor who had threatened her.  She honked her horn once and immediately returned home. The officer pulled up minutes later and placed her under arrest in her driveway.  My father witnessed my mother's arrest and was threatened with arrest for asking the officer why my mother had been arrested. After being transferred to the custody of the Guilford County Sheriff's Office, my mother was subjected to a brutal assault by two detention officers. While still in handcuffs, my mother was repeatedly hit and kicked, thrown into a cement wall and bench, and left on the floor without medical attention until her release.   At the time of her arrest and assault, my mother was never told why she had been arrested.  Her initial arrest and court records were filed under a different name.  The charges against her were ultimately voluntarily dismissed by the district attorney’s office in September of 2013. I started this petition to ask the North Carolina Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate the actions of law enforcement officers from the High Point Police Department and Guilford County Sheriff's Office in the false arrest and subsequent assault of my mother. Please help to get the North Carolina Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the actions of the law enforcement personnel involved in this matter.
