On January 16, 2026, a routine traffic stop in Hurst, Texas, escalated into a violent arrest after Taneisha Thompson was pulled over by Hurst Police Department Corporal Brandon Morgan for allegedly driving 40 mph in a 25 mph school zone at 1437 Simpson Dr. The encounter turned tense when Thompson questioned the speeding ticket and refused to sign it. After Corporal Morgan placed a copy of the citation inside her vehicle, Thompson threw the paperwork out of her window. Citing the act as littering, Corporal Morgan ordered her to step out of the car. Thompson refused, repeatedly requesting a supervisor, to which Morgan replied that he was the supervisor on scene. Backed by arriving backup officers, Corporal Morgan forcibly pulled Thompson from her vehicle and slammed her to the ground. The entire violent struggle was witnessed by Thompson’s 15-year-old son, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Thompson sustained severe physical injuries during the arrest, including a black eye, multi-body bruising, and a busted lip that required three to four stitches. Thompson was charged with resisting arrest alongside citations for speeding and littering. While an internal investigation by the Hurst Police Department concluded that Corporal Morgan's actions were lawful, followed department policy, and did not constitute excessive force, Thompson and her high-profile attorney, Lee Merritt, are strongly disputing the findings and have taken their demands for accountability directly to the Hurst City Council.
