"The issue was, was the initial detention of Mr. Young legal?" he told the station."If it's not, then he's not guilty. ... He could punch her 100 times, and it wouldn't matter." "It just blows my mind that that happened. I just sit here, and I wonder, how did we get to that point?" she continued. McCarthy was the first deputy to arrive at the house and the suspect, Ari Young, looked"very angry," she said. Video taken on a neighbor's cellphone shows he started pummeling her in the face. He then beat her to the ground, seized her gun and began firing shots in her direction. Her injuries included a broken thumb and a black eye.
"I was called to that house to help. She wanted my help," she continued."That gives me the exact cause of law enforcement to help someone, and the fact that these people believe that I did something wrong to the point where I almost lost my life is heartbreaking."
