Deaf Woman Awarded .2 Million After Police Arrested Her For “Not Listening”
Andrea “Dre” Hollingsworth, a deaf Black mother, was awarded $1.2 million after North Las Vegas police arrested her for “not listening” during a 2021 traffic stop. Her daughters tried to tell officers she was deaf, but they still cuffed her. Bodycam footage shows her signing and her 11-year-old twins being forced to interpret, exposing major failures in how police handle disabilities. She was just trying to get her rent money back.
