She yelled out in pain at one point as officer Howley repeatedly tried to slam the door shut while the teen's foot was jammed. He's been hobbled by leg and foot problems this season, but he is a prospect to monitor regardless, as he's the youngest American player in this mock. After they put her in the backseat of the patrol car, the girl could be seen putting her leg out to prevent the officers from closing the door. They carried her to the patrol car by her arms and legs after the girl laid down on the road. Officer Howley eventually slammed the door shut and the girl could be heard screaming as officer Ueberroth got into the front seat of the patrol car to drive away. Bodycam footage showed officer Ueberroth chasing the girl through the street and handcuffing her before walking her back to his patrol car as she shouted at onlookers. Both officers involved, Lindsey Howley and Bailey Ueberroth, were placed on paid administrative leave after cellphone footage of the arrest emerged.



In January 2018, yet another neighbor grabbed a package out of Fairley’s hand, and signed a citizen’s arrest form, leading to another charge of petty theft. He asked the gardening man who demanded identification from Fairley in the lamp box episode whether he would investigate everyone walking down the street with a package. When asked about punching the teen, Lansing Police Chief Mike Yankowski said during a press conference that it was standard protocol when a person is resisting arrest. Before she could challenge it, sheriff’s deputies strode into her unit with an arrest warrant—she’d missed another court date—and found her hiding under a gigantic blue teddy bear. After missing yet more court dates that spring—resulting in more warrants, more arrests—she was jailed again in April, and released the next month with an ankle monitor. The defendants also face criminal charges filed in federal court in October. This time, the judge didn’t let her out of jail, and Fairley couldn’t pay bail as the prosecutor pursued charges for free forced sex video the three alleged stealing episodes. "It made me believe she was being properly looked after." When Arnold took the stand, Banks tried to get him to admit that he’d badly wanted to get Fairley arrested.



"She looked groomed, slept, and fed," Arnold told me later. In court, she wore a suit Banks had brought her from his office’s wardrobe, and Arnold noticed that she had filled out in jail. Fairley rejected a plea bargain that Banks considered a "terrible" deal (including a stay-away order from Fairley’s surrounding neighborhood and, to his thinking, too much jail time)—and the case of Ganave Fairley v. Neighbors of Potrero Hill hurtled toward trial. While wealth and race disparities were obvious in the courtroom, they weren’t on trial. He emphasized that she was a longtime resident of Potrero, a neighborhood whose rising wealth had alienated her from her own community. The girl and boy allegedly took off running when police arrived after a resident called 911 to report their whereabouts on Friday morning. The 15-year-old boy was also detained and returned to the youth center. Police said the girl was taken back to the youth center and did not require medical treatment.





Police said the two teens were being housed at the youth center on probation violations and the officers had warrants to detain them after they fled a day earlier. After a day of deliberations, the jury returned a packet of verdict sheets on which one of them had scrawled "GUILTY," determining that Fairley had committed every act she was charged with. In February, a judge slammed Fairley with a stay-away order for blocks where she’d been accused of stealing. As Banks saw it, Fairley had been caught in a web of surveillance, gentrification, and racism, in which vigilante neighbors targeted her for anything that went missing, when, in fact, many other porch pirates were also stealing in Potrero. Her lawyer filed an appeal, which is ongoing as of this writing, arguing that each stealing spree should have constituted a single conviction, rather than each stolen item. She might have stolen some items, but not everything she was being blamed for taking. The question was simply: Did 12 jurors think Fairley once had heroin in her possession and had stolen some items?
