Per Karsner and her lawyer, Jeffery Sexton, a Radcliff police officer broke her arm about nineteen month ago. This happened as two officers were responding to her home to serve a custodial interference warrant.
Patricia Karsner's attorney gave WAVE 3 News police body camera video that showed the interaction unfold.
In the video, two Radcliff officers can be seen approaching Karsner's home. Karsner then is heard telling the officers they're not welcome in her home. Police told her they have a warrant and she was under arrest.
According to Karsner's attorney, police never provided the warrant. The video then showed officers placing Karsner under arrest. As that action occurred, Karsner began shouting that her hand was in pain. Karsner said following that moment, her armed snapped.
