*544Williams lives at the Carriage House apartment complex, which uses a private security company, Avert Security, LLC. Chad Butts, an Avert employee and Marion County Reserve Deputy, was on patrol at Carriage House in the early morning hours of August 5, 2007. He detained three young boys who had placed traffic cones in the street and told them to sit on the curb as he contacted their parents. Seeing these events, Williams approached Butts, who inquired if she was a parent to one of the boys. She said she was not. Butts instructed Williams to leave, but she refused, responding that she was “not a slave” and this was “not a plantation.” Butts warned Williams again to leave the area or else he would arrest her. Williams ignored the warning and continued to interfere with Butts by again verbally challenging his authority. He attempted to arrest her, but Williams struggled during the arrest. As she later conceded in her deposition, she tried “to not let him touch [her].” Eventually Butts pinned her on the ground and arrested her. Williams was charged with resisting law enforcement.
