Honestie Hodges (November 9, 2006 – November 22, 2020) was an American teenager from Grand Rapids, Michigan.[1]

Handcuffing incident

On December 6, 2017, at the age of 11, Honestie Hodges was handcuffed at gunpoint by the Grand Rapids Police Department while the police were searching for a suspect in a reported crime.[2] The body cam footage of her arrest gained nationwide coverage and led to the Grand Rapids Police Department enacting a Youth Interactions Policy, nicknamed the "Honestie Policy", in March 2018.[2][3] The policy called for using minimally restrictive disciplinary and law-enforcement methods when interacting with children and youth.[4]

In July 2022, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights announced racial discrimination charges were filed against the Grand Rapids Police Department for the handcuffing of Hodges in her 2017 arrest.[5]

Death

Hodges contracted COVID-19 on November 9, 2020, her 14th birthday, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan. She died from the virus thirteen days later, on November 22.[6]
