After the shocking discovery of a warrant in Texas, the Philadelphia woman went to the police to report her identity might have been stolen, but instead, she was arrested and spent six days in prison, set for extradition to Texas. She was later released after officials in Texas realized they were searching for a suspect with the same name.
FOX 29's Alex Holley and Mike Jerrick speak with Julie Hudson, a Philadelphia woman who was arrested in a case of mistaken identity after a woman with the same name was charged with a crime in Texas. Hudson joins "Good Day Philadelphia" with her attorney Shaka Johnson.A Philadelphia woman who spent several days in jail after being mistaken for a suspect wanted in Texas is speaking out about the experience.
Julie Hudson, a Philadelphia Ph.D student with no criminal record, was jailed for almost a week when police mistook her for a suspect wanted for a crime in Texas. The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and local law enforcement held a press conference Thursday apologizing for the erroneous arrest and explaining what happened.
According to Hudson, officers at the precinct told her she needed to be arrested but reassured her the process to clear it up would be quick, but instead she spent two days at the roundhouse and four days at another local facility. Orange is the New Black "This Julie, the innocent Julie Hudson, the one I represent, the one sitting here with us, our Julie, citizen of Philadelphia Julie is looking for answers from her city," said Johnson.
"No detective sat down with Julie, this Ph.D. in grief psychology candidate, okay. No one sat down with her. A person with a Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree, well-read in academia, no one sat down with this person as a complainant to even hear her story," Johnson said, citing a broken and biased system that "quite frankly needs an overhaul."
Hudson says she's not after an apology from officials and instead wants to ensure this issue does not happen to anyone else.
