VALDOSTA, Ga. — Cell phone video captured a woman scuffling with cops after a spat with protesters over their treatment of the American flag on a college campus.
The Washington Post reports U.S. Air Force veteran and former Playboy model Michelle Manhart took the American flag from a group of protesters who were reportedly stomping on it in protest of racism. Manhart said she was defending the flag.
When police arrived, Manhart refused to return the flag to the group. After multiple commands from police to hand it over, Manhart became involved in a tug of war with officers over the flag.
Police subdued the woman and detained her for resisting arrest, but later declined to pursue charges in the incident.
Manhart left the military in 2007 after being reprimanded for posing nude in Playboy.
