While responding to 911 calls that reported the trespassing of dozens of individuals on private property, a McKinney police officer, corporal Eric Casebolt, was video-recorded violently restraining Dajerria Becton, a 15-year-old black girl wearing a swimsuit.

On June 5, 2015, police were called to a pool party and cookout at Craig Ranch North, an upper-middle-class neighborhood in McKinney.

Tatyana and Aryana Rhodes, African-American teens and neighborhood residents, had invited friends to the event to celebrate the end of the school year.

Attendee Miles Jai Thomas told HuffPost that the security guard "started making up rules to keep [African-American partygoers] out."

The initial call came in as a disturbance involving multiple juveniles at the location, who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave.

McKinney Police received several additional calls related to this incident advising that juveniles were now actively fighting.

[9]After being asked to disperse from the pool, Becton told police corporal Eric Casebolt she needed to find her glasses.

Texas Monthly describes the video footage:Moments later, [Becton is] thrown to the ground and grabbed by the hair.

[16][17] According to his lawyer, Jane Bishkin, Casebolt's work that day prior to the pool incident had taken "an emotional toll."

Gawker viewed this exorbitant amount as a "deliberate attempt to conceal information" and challenged the fee.

[25] On January 11, 2016, the Texas Rangers concluded their investigation and returned it to the Collin County District Attorney's Office for further handling.

The suit sought damages of US$5 million for the officer's use of excessive force and holding Dajerria Becton without probable cause, thus violating her constitutional rights.

The Becton family was represented by attorney Kim T. Cole, a graduate of Howard University School of Law.

[29] Per Cole's interview with TeenVogue, Dajerria Becton planned to start a business with her settlement and pursue a career in dentistry.
