ORLANDO, Fla. — A veteran Orlando police officer is under investigation after Local 6 News started asking questions about surveillance video that shows the officer using an “arm bar” technique on a 100-pound woman whose teeth were broken after she landed face-first on the ground.
The video, captured by a city camera and obtained by investigative reporter Mike Holfeld, shows Officer Livio Beccaccio taking 20-year-old Lisa Wareham by the left arm before she hits the pavement.
The incident happened Feb. 25 around 1:45 a.m. in the 100 block of East Central Boulevard across from the Orlando Library and was caught on video by an Innovative Response to Improve Safety (I.R.I.S.) camera mounted at Magnolia Avenue and Central Boulevard.The incident broke Wareham’s front teeth.”It happened so fast. I was so scared. There is no way to describe it,” she said.Wareham, a single mother who was out with her friends at the time of the incident, said she could not believe what happened.”I went to sit up and I felt something in my mouth. I spit (my teeth) out. I didn’t even know what to think,” she said.
