Police in Galveston, Texas are being sued for allegedly arresting a 12-year-old Dymond Larae Milburn outside of her home as a prostitute in 2006. The girl did not realize that the plainclothes officers were police and fought back as she screamed for her father inside the house. She was reportedly beaten by the officers and ended up with sprained wrist, two black eyes, a bloody nose, and blood in an ear. Weeks later, the police arrested her for resisting arrest.

Sgt. Gilbert Gomez and Officers David Roark and Sean Stewart have insisted that their conduct was entirely appropriate.

The police were responding to a report of three white prostitutes working in the area, but some how ended up arrested and roughing up a 12-year-old black girl in front of her house.

The honor student was then arrested at her middle school on a charge of resisting arrest — but a mistrial prevented further prosecution.

GALVESTON — Prosecutors will not retry a 15-year-old girl after a jury failed to reach a verdict on a charge of assaulting a police officer, Galveston County District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk said Tuesday.

The defense accused police of mistaking for a prostitute and beating Dymond Larae Milburn, an honors student at Austin Middle School. Prosecutors said officers were doing their job and that the girl, then 12, scratched herself while holding onto a bush.

The six jury members deliberated for eight hours Monday after hearing four days of testimony before deciding they were deadlocked. Galveston County state District Judge Roy Quintanilla declared a mistrial.

“The bottom line was, the facts weren’t going to change for either side in a subsequent trial with a different jury, and there was no reason to expect the outcome to be any different than another split decision,” Sistrunk said.

Five of the six jurors refused to vote to convict Milburn of felony assault, said defense attorney Anthony Griffin and Assistant District Attorney Veronique Cantrell-Avloes.

An earlier attempt to try the case also ended in a mistrial after a witness made an improper statement in front of the jury.
