Biography
Bianca Austin, Breonna Taylor’s aunt and a member of Families United Against Police Brutality, was arrested in Akron while trying to help post bond for another protest detainee.
The complaint describes her arrest in the early hours of July 7, 2022 and hours in jail before charging or booking. It reports that all charges were dismissed by March 9, 2023. The initial hours before booking are not the complete episode total, and no release endpoint is given.
The allegations are attributed to plaintiffs’ June 29, 2023 civil complaint; they are not findings that the defendants are liable. Source: Harris et al. v. City of Akron, No. 5:23-cv-01290, complaint, PDF pages 54, 55, 56, 57. This historical source does not establish present custody status.
