The winner of Miss Black Texas 2016 says
she was harassed and berated by a North Texas police chief who called her a
"black b----," and then was unlawfully detained and arrested.
Carmen Ponder recounted her alleged
interaction with Commerce Police Chief Kerry Crews in a Twitter post Tuesday.
She is calling for police accountability and wants charges filed against
Crews.
In her account, Ponder wrote that she
was driving to a Wal-Mart in Commerce Saturday when a black truck cut in front
of her car and began driving erratically, braking and accelerating. Ponder said
she turned on her blinker, pulled around to pass the truck and then drove into
the Wal-Mart parking lot.
