In a now-viral video, a law enforcement officer tried to arrest Houston resident Clarence Evans in his own front yard after mistaking him for a different black man who allegedly had a warrant out for his arrest. Evans uploaded the video of the incident to social media on May 8, saying the officer had pulled up to his house as he was watching his kids play. As the officer asks Evans to show him identification, Evans refuses. In his video caption, Evans explains that the officer had shown him a photo of a black man with dreadlocks who appeared to be in his 50s. “What are you trying to say, because I got dreads and I’m black, that’s me?”Eventually, the officer says he’ll be filing a report and both officers leave.
