FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – The Fort Wayne police officer who shot and killed Linzell Parhm in June is once again under scrutiny.
As reported by our news gathering partners at 21ALIVE, Mason Wills is one of two FWPD officers seen pulling 29-year-old Tyjana Smith out of her car during a traffic stop early Monday.
He alleges the traffic stop was initiated when he witnessed Tyjana Smith drive “at a high rate of speed” and “blow right through (a) stop sign.”
Wills says Smith used her body weight to lift him off the ground and that they were eventually able to detain her using “several tactics.”
Smith is charged with felony resisting law enforcement and battery against a public safety official.
The investigation into the shooting of Parhm is still ongoing.

Sadly certain people have been conditioned to believe they do not have to obey the rules the rest of the population abide by. They are special and somewhere in their ancestry someone was oppressed or enslaved. Yet millions of other people with the same background manage to routinely obey the law. When you do as alleged in this story you are way out of line.
