A 19-year-old woman who was mistaken by police for a male suspect filed a claim Wednesday against the city of Bakersfield, alleging officers violated her civil rights and used excessive force when they arrested her. “What happened to me was vicious,” Hargrove said as tears streamed down her face at a news conference in Bakersfield. The force used on Hargrove, a Little Caesars pizza worker, was unreasonable and excessive, he said. The police encounter started after Hargrove, a Bakersfield resident, headed to the store to pick up a Father’s Day gift. According to the report, when Hargrove told officers her name is Tatyana, Moore said: “Don’t lie to me, that’s a girl’s name.
