A pregnant mom and her newborn are at the center of a shocking lawsuit against a former Buckeye police officer, alleging brutal civil rights violations during a traffic stop. Officer Carri Carrico allegedly handcuffed, pat-downed, and verbally abused Mackenzie Padilla — even rubbing her belly and leaving her unsecured in a patrol car. The abuse escalated at booking, where Carrico reportedly pinned Padilla against a wall, struck her multiple times (including a head injury captured on camera), and left her with visible bruises and a neck cut. The baby, born just weeks later, showed concerning health issues — allegedly linked to the trauma. Carrico now faces assault charges, and the lawsuit demands accountability for the profound harm inflicted on both mother and child.
