Bridget Freitas, a 30-year-old nurse from Pembroke Pines, backhanded Miami-Dade Police Detective Douglas Ross before he punched her in the head at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on November 4, 2017. The confrontation occurred during Miami's victory over Virginia Tech.

Freitas had been arguing with other fans and loudly using profanity. She refused officers' instructions to move to the concourse and sat on the steps, prompting four officers to lift her and carry her from the stands. As they carried her up the steps, she struck Ross in the face and he responded with a punch. Spectator video recorded both blows. Police reports described Freitas as intoxicated, and she later said she had been intoxicated and did not remember striking Ross. She faced no alcohol-related charge.

Freitas was charged with felony battery on a law enforcement officer and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Her case was resolved in December 2017 through a deal requiring 50 hours of community service, an anger-management course, a $100 fine plus costs and a written apology to Ross. No conviction was reported. A supervisors' review found that Ross acted within department rules. Internal affairs did not open a case because no complaint was filed.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Police are investigating a videotaped altercation where a University of Miami football fan slaps an officer, who then punches her in the head.

Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said in an email Sunday that Bridget Freitas, a 30-year-old nurse, has been charged with felony battery on a police officer and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. He said the department is reviewing the video to make sure proper procedures were followed in the altercation at Hard Rock Stadium during Miami’s win Saturday over Virginia Tech.

According to the arrest report, Freitas had been arguing with other fans and was “using profanity in a loud, boisterous manner” when officers arrived. They say they tried to calm her down and asked her to move to the concourse, but she refused and sat on the steps.
In the 14-second video posted on Twitter, four uniformed officers pick up Freitas, who was wearing a green and orange Miami jersey. Three carry her up the steps, with one officer hoisting her torso with his arms under her shoulders and the other two carrying her legs.

With her eyes half-closed, Freitas flails with her open hand at Detective Douglas Ross, who is carrying her right leg. She misses the back of his head, but nails him in the face with her backhand.

Ross immediately reacts, hitting her in the head with his right fist, causing her to crumble in the officers’ arms as she is carried out of view of the camera. Freitas is Hispanic, according to the report. Ross is black.

By Sunday afternoon, the video had been shared on Twitter more than 3,000 times and was posted on numerous websites.

Jail records do not show Freitas being held Sunday afternoon. She did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

University of Miami officials said they were aware of the video and were also gathering information. The school often employs off-duty officers in uniform to assist with crowd control, traffic and security at football games, and there were multiple skirmishes in the stands Saturday that required intervention of law enforcement and others.

That knuckle sandwich was for free.

Freitas, who works as a nurse, has been arrested at least once before in 2012 (pictured left), when she was charged with battery. It's not clear what lead to her arrest in that instance.
