Taylor Frankie Paul’s chaotic 2023 arrest is now playing out in full … and TMZ has obtained the complete 2-hour police body cam footage from that infamous night.
The video captures everything from the moment cops arrive at her Utah home to the aftermath of her arrest — giving an inside look into how the domestic violence incident unfolded in real time … leading to Taylor in handcuffs.
Officers are seen responding to a tense and emotional scene, quickly separating Taylor and her boyfriend Dakota Mortensen as things spiral. Throughout the footage, Taylor appears visibly, extremely intoxicated … stumbling, slurring, and at times snapping at police officers as they try to get control of the situation.
Dakota is shown speaking with officers and explaining his side of the altercation — even showing injuries he says he suffered, on his hand and elbow. In one moment, once Taylor is placed in the back of a cop car, he begs cops to take him to jail instead of Taylor.
The video also shows police interacting with Taylor’s parents, who arrive to help care for her children … and are shocked their daughter is involved in such a disheartening situation.
There are multiple intense beats throughout … including officers discussing whether Taylor and Dakota can have contact before a judge hears their case … and Dakota worrying about how it could impact their relationship and even an upcoming trip to Hawaii they’d planned before the 2023 blowup.
