The footage shows Carrico physically assaulting Mackenzie Padilla, who was nine months pregnant, allegedly after an unlawful search and racial slurs. The lawsuit accuses Carrico of excessive force and emotional harm, citing a troubling pattern of misconduct—including a prior sustained complaint met only with verbal counseling. Carrico, now resigned and facing aggravated assault charges, has pleaded not guilty. The city is also being held accountable for failing to stop the misconduct. Padilla, now a new mother, is represented by attorney John Griffiths as this case pushes for justice and systemic change in police accountability.
