A Texas woman accused police officers in Santa Fe of holding her face down in a pile of fire ants, leaving bite marks all over her head and chest. Taylor Rogers said the incident occurred on Aug. 19, 2021, while she took her son to school. Rogers alleged in a federal civil lawsuit that an officer came running up to her vehicle yelling for her to stop. She initially filed the suit in July and amended it in January.

' Ruben Espinoza, the police chief for the Santa Fe Independent School District, told NBC affiliate KPRC of Houston that the video does not tell the full story of what happened. Espinoza, an officer at the time who responded to the school, is named as a defendant in the lawsuit as well as an officer and the City of Santa Fe. He said Rogers attempted to cut to the front of the area where parents were dropping off their children.
