"Once she was placed into the police car, Ficker claims she was then pepper-sprayed four times, one time right in her mouth, and not given water. The teen said the spraying had caused her to start choking. Brito said the teen was only sprayed once and that she was able to wash her face with water when she arrived at the station, which he said is protocol.
Police slammed the car door and never put her seat belt on, Ficker said. The video shows police closing the car door after the teen was sprayed.
She was later taken to the hospital by her father, where she was diagnosed with a possible concussion and other injuries, Ficker said.
"What happened Sunday should never happen to anyone's daughter," Ficker said, adding that the girl is an honor student and soccer player.
The teen was charged with disorderly conduct, two counts of second-degree assault, possession of marijuana, and failure to obey a traffic device, police said. The matter was referred to the Department of Juvenile Services. She will not enter a plea, Ficker said, adding that he hopes the Department of Juvenile Services will drop the charges."
