New Bodycam Footage Reveals Troubling Interaction with Deranged Criminal Leading to Tragic Death of Ukrainian Refugee

Police in Charlotte, North Carolina released new bodycam footage taken around eight months before Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was tragically slaughtered by Decarlos Brown Jr., a deranged criminal with a history of schizophrenia. The footage shows Brown Jr. shouting at officers about a “man-made foreign substance” he believed was implanted into his body and was controlling him.

The bodycam video, released on Tuesday, Nov. 25, was from an officer interaction during a welfare check for Brown on Jan. 19. In the footage, Brown expressed his belief that he was exposed to something that took away his ability to control his body. “If I get an MRI and they see what it is, what they gon say? We gotta get surgery and get that out so we can investigate what the [expletive] is,” he said.

During the interaction, Brown became frustrated with officers’ responses to his complaints. A sergeant on scene instructed officers to arrest Brown for misuse of 911 if he calls again for the same problem. Brown called again and was arrested. “Put your hands behind your back. You’re being arrested for misuse of 911,” an officer said. “What I’m misused it for?” Brown asked. “Because I told you if you didn’t have a police emergency and if you would call back over some nonsense, then I would have to arrest you for misuse of 911,” the officer said.

Brown’s family stated he was dealing with homelessness and mental health issues. After this, it remains unclear why he was set free again. It is evident he suffered from extreme mental illness and/or demonic possession. Everyone failed Iryna Zarutska on so many levels, in so many ways. That young girl should still be alive.
