BOERNE, Texas — A Tuesday traffic stop is causing concern in Boerne.
In dashcam video released by the Borenre Police Department, you see Officer Cheyenne Weber pullover Dionnie Minnard for allegedly speeding.
According to police, the 21-year-old had an out of state license, expired tags and no insurance.
In the video, you hear Ofc. Weber ask for her current address for the citation. Minnard can be heard saying "no" and refusing to get out of the car.
She begins to yell and argue with Ofc. Weber. He tells her she's being arrested for Failure to Identify.
He calls for back up and warns Minnard what will happen if she doesn't comply.
"When the other officer gets here, we are going to pull you out of the car if you don't want to get out of the car," said Ofc. Weber.
A few minutes later, three more officers arrive and take her out of the car by force. Minnard starts to yell and curse at the officers.
Minnard then refuses to get in the back of the police car. Cell phone video from a eyewitness shows her on the ground. Minnard's mother comes to the scene and tries to calm her down.
"I'm telling you, look at me, close your mouth," Minnard's mother said. "Will you please get in the vehicle?"
She followed orders from police after her mother told her to do so.
Minnard is in the Kendall County Jail.
The dashcam video is synced with video from an eyewitness. Both can be viewed here:
Boerne Chief of Police James Kohler released the following statement with the video:
"On Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at about 6:26 PM, Officer Cheyenne Weber of the Boerne Police Department, stopped 21-year-old Dionnie Minnard of Boerne, TX for speeding in the 1400 block of South Main. In the recording, Officer Weber is heard telling Ms. Minnard she was traveling 51 MPH in a 50 MPH zone; however, it is a 45 MPH zone and is documented on the written warning. Ms. Minnard was also operating a motor vehicle without insurance and was displaying out of state license plates that had expired in 2019. After Ms. Minnard was informed as to the reason why she was stopped, Officer Weber proceeded to ask for a current address since she only had an Arkansas driver’s license. Ms. Minnard failed to comply with multiple requests which led to Officer Weber telling her she could be placed under arrest for Failure to Identify. An offense of Failure to Identify is committed by a person when they intentionally refuse to or gives a false name, residence address, or date of birth (Texas Penal Code 38.02). Even after several verbal warnings, Ms. Minnard still refused to comply and was subsequently told she was now under arrest for the offense of Failure to Identify. Officer Weber asked Ms. Minnard to step out of her vehicle so she could be placed under arrest and Ms. Minnard refused. Officer Weber called for additional officers to help him make his arrest in a safe manner and to prevent anyone from being hurt. Ms. Minnard had to be physically removed and in doing so, Officer Weber was kicked in the face by Ms. Minnard. Even after being handcuffed, Ms. Minnard continued to resist arrest and refused to be placed in the back of the police vehicle. In the recording, Ms. Minnard refers to being stopped by Officer Weber at a previous time. Police Records show Officer Weber did in fact stop Ms. Minnard on May 13, 2020 for displaying expired registration. During that stop, Ms. Minnard was issued a warning and advised to bring her vehicle registration in compliance with Texas laws. All Use of Force incidents are reviewed by the chain of command. Although the use of force against Ms. Minard does not look good, the officers in this incident acted with the necessary and reasonable amount of force. Officer Weber was treated and released from Boerne Methodist ER for complaint of pain to his jaw. Ms. Minnard did not sustain any injuries during her arrest. Officer Weber is a nine-year veteran of the Boerne Police Department. This case is still under investigation and will be forward to the Kendall County District Attorney’s Office once completed."
