A police department in Columbus, Ohio released footage of porn star Stormy Daniels’ arrest last week.
The video shows Daniels being handcuffed and placed into a police van last Thursday morning after she arrested on the suspicion of touching a patron while on stage at a strip club.

An officer can be heard telling Daniels, “If you use any anatomical part of your body, like your chest, to put it on peoples’ face, that’s a misdemeanor in the first degree.”
Charging documents stated that Daniels touched a female officer’s buttocks, and placed her hands on the officer’s chest. Then she put her own chest in the officer’s face while “on the premise of sexually oriented business.”
The charges were later dropped.
Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs kater stated,”The motivations behind the officers’ actions will be reviewed internally to ensure that our Core Values and duty to serve our community to the best of our ability continue to be the basis of our actions.”
The Ohio touching law was not enforced on Daniels because it only references someone “who regularly appears nude or seminude” at a club.
