CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio -- A woman says Cleveland Heights police roughed her up while she was putting up anti-President George W. Bush posters, but police say the arresting officers were the ones who took the abuse.

NewsChannel5's Joe Pagonakis reported that Carolyn Fisher is just 5 feet 2 inches tall and 100 pounds, but police say she has a tenacious attitude that earned her two felony charges.

Fisher told NewsChannel5 that she was trying to hang up the posters on Lee Road telephone poles, not knowing it was illegal.

She said that's when police drove up and told her to stop. Fisher said that she told the officers she would take the posters down, but that they arrested her, pinning her to the ground and putting handcuffs on her.

Fisher showed her bruised wrists from what she called overly tightened handcuffs.

But prosecutors tell a different story about the seemingly frail Fisher, saying the woman wouldn't take the posters down, and attacked police like a wildcat.

When asked about the witness accounts of her resisting the officers, Fisher said that there are always going to be conflicting accounts -- but that she acted as she did because the officers were hurting her.

Fisher said she will file a complaint and a civil lawsuit against the Cleveland Heights Police Department.

The felony charges could earn Fisher up to a year in jail.
