‘Let Her Hair Go!’: Texas Cop Fired After Dragging Woman by Her Locs as Daughter and Bystanders Rush to Help in Viral Pool Confrontation
Internal Affairs found the officer violated department standards after video showed him dragging Janiaca Wheeler by her hair during the pool confrontation.
- On August 24, the Royse City Police Department fired Officer Robert Crider following an internal investigation into his use of excessive force during an August 3 confrontation at a Creekside community pool.
- The incident began when an older couple alerted pool attendants about the family, triggering a disturbance call; the family maintains they were legally allowed to use the Creekside facility.
- Viral video shows Officer Crider grabbing 35-year-old Janiaca Wheeler by her hair and dragging her to the ground, while footage also depicts an officer pushing a woman holding a child.
- Internal Affairs cleared three other responding officers of misconduct, yet police referred charges against Wheeler for resisting arrest and interference with public duties.
- Dominique Alexander of The Next Generation Action Network called the firing "a step toward accountability" but demanded release of full body-camera footage to address broader concerns about the encounter.
