A woman who gained international attention for videotaping her husband's arrest has now found herself being targeted by Lincoln, Nebraska police. Stephanie Shaw, who recorded the December 21st arrest of her husband by police officers outside the couple's mobile home following an alleged crossbow incident, has been charged with "child neglect".
32 year old Gary Grana, Shaw's husband, was confronted by Lincoln police in the couple's yard after a neighbor had called alleging that Grana was shooting a bow and arrow. Upwards of twenty police officers and fire trucks responded to the scene after Grana tried to enter his home. Grana is still in jail accused of assaulting officers, and is awaiting a January 11th hearing in Lancaster County Court.
Mrs. Shaw told me that she has retained an attorney and is filing a complaint against the police department. "My name and my husbands name is being slandered in our local newspaper and even on some of the comments on my video. This is a hard thing to go through knowing that your family is innocent," Shaw said. She added "the police here have put a lot of slanderous information about me in the newspaper. Trying to say that the only food in my house was a bowl of rice, some dried beans and some chicken bones. And that I only heat my house with 2 space heaters. This is all untrue. I even had a CPS worker come to my house and talk to me and he didn't understand why he was there. And really if that was the truth the police would've taken my daughter from me right then and there. They still aren't telling people that they took my computer and digital camera when they did their search."
Stephanie has set up a defense fund for her husband, who remains behind bars. You can donate to the Gary Grana defense fund via paypal, here.
