Marilyn Jean Fields, a 66-year-old Black woman from North Carolina renowned in her community for her volunteer work, admits she violated the law when she parked in the fire lane in front of a Piggly Wiggly supermarket on a rainy day to purchase a loaf of bread – along with several other cars that were also illegally parked that day.

But she said that did not justify a 22-year-old Kinston police officer named Karl “Blake” Davis from pulling her out of the car, slamming her against her car, then forcing her face down on the asphalt as he sat on top of her, ordering her to “stop resisting.”

“I’m not resisting,” Fields can be heard saying on a video recorded by a witness as the cop sits with his full weight on top of her.

The incident took place on July 18 at about 6:50 p.m. after Fields pulled up to the grocery store during the pouring rain to buy a loaf of bread and noticed other cars parked in the fire lane which is a common occurrence in that city, she said.
