Biloxi police accused a teen girl of being a 'heroin addict' in DUI arrest. She was sober.

A Biloxi teen lost her trust in law enforcement on July 27, 2018, when she said Biloxi police officers sexually harassed her and arrested her without cause for driving under the influence of an illegal substance.

When the girl’s mother, now a Mississippi school superintendent in another city, arrived at the Biloxi Police Department to pick up her daughter, arresting officer Nathan Corr told her he suspected the teen was a “heroin addict,” according to records in a lawsuit filed by the girl’s mother on behalf of the teen. Pascagoula attorney Monte Tynes, represented the family.

After the girl left the Police Department with her mom, she insisted on going directly to Merit Health hospital in Biloxi to have blood drawn to prove she was not under the influence of a drug, alcohol or any other substance.

The tests confirmed what the girl had tried to tell Officer Corr after he said she failed the sobriety tests, arrested her for the DUI offense and cited her for driving with an expired license.
