This week, on Wednesday as a matter of fact, the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed it has suspended a trooper who is accused of performing an illegal body cavity search in Dallas last July.
The two victims have filed a lawsuit against Trooper Kelley Helleson, accusing her of not only “digging all up in their junk,” but also humiliating them on the side of a public roadway.
DPS spokesman Tom Vinger said Trooper Kelley Helleson is suspended with pay pending the outcome of an investigation.
A dashcam video has surfaced, in which trooper Helleson can be seen putting on rubber gloves and then reaching into the pants of the two women, Angel and Ashley Dobbs, during a routine traffic stop.
The lawsuit is filed against Helleson and DPS director Steven McCraw, alleging that Trooper Helleson's "intrusive" search was conducted without consent on the side of a public roadway.
"I was molested, I was violated, I was humiliated in front of other traffic," Angel Dobbs said. "I had to watch my niece go through the same thing and I could not protect her at that point."
