It was near the end of an unusual day for the four Patterson children when the deputies came to arrest their mother.

The sheriff’s deputies approached the house, a tidy split-level outside Blue Ridge, Georgia, with chickens roaming the front yard and yellow flowers blooming along the front steps. What happened next was captured on a body-worn camera.

Deputy Kaylee Robertson knocked on the glass. She wore an army-green vest over her short-sleeved uniform shirt. Visible on her left arm was the tattoo of a cartoon character: Blossom, leader of the Powerpuff Girls, who use their superpowers to fight crime. The door creaked open.

“Hey Brittany,” the deputy said, making a come-here motion with her left hand, “I need you to come out here.”

Still on the phone, Brittany Patterson apparently asked for more time.



“No,” the deputy said with authority. “Not ‘one second.’ I need you to come out here.”

Patterson was a 41-year-old real-estate agent. She stepped outside, into the autumn twilight.

“Okay,” the deputy said. “Turn around for me.”

“Why?” Patterson said.

“Because you’re under arrest,” the deputy said.

“For what,” Patterson said, her tone soft and incredulous.

“For the incident we talked about earlier today,” Robertson said.
