A bartender and model has filed a civil lawsuit against the police, claiming officers used excessive force during her arrest when they slammed her to the ground, breaking four bones in her face. Megan Sheehan, of San Francisco, said that camera footage of Bay Area Rapid Transit officers and Oakland Police conflict with what police say happened the night she was knocked unconscious at Santa Rita Jail. She had been arrested and booked at the Santa Rita Jail for suspicion of resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intoxication on St. Patrick's Day of 2014. Megan Sheehan, of San Francisco, was knocked unconscious and suffered broken facial bones and cracked teeth after police took her to ground at Santa Rita Jail . Sheehan claims that camera footage of Bay Area Rapid Transit officers and Oakland Police conflict with what police say happened - that she was guided to the ground after 'violently punching' Security and body camera footage shows Sheehan being booked into the jail after a night of heavy drinking when two officers grab Sheehan's arms and slam her to the ground. Sheehan, who said she's psychologically still recovering from the attack, suffered severe facial injuries and was left bloodied, lying on the ground after the incident. She said that she is embarrassed with how drunk she was the night she was arrested, but that didn't warrant the force the police used. 'I should have never gotten that drunk, but also there are ways to detain someone and not break their face,' she told ABC. Sheehan was arrested by a BART officer, which she said she deserved because she was being drunk and belligerent. She was intoxicated, 'verbally argumentative' and didn't appear to be able to take care of herself, BART Police who found her sitting on a bench inside a station said, according to SF Gate. In the right side of the video frame, Sheehan can be seen being grabbed by two officers who take her to the ground. She then loses consciousness and police call for medical assistance . As Sheehan lies unconscious in a pool of her own blood, medical staff and an officer try to tend to her injuries. Medical staff were called after a woman behind the jail counter asked if Sheehan was 'down', and officers told her 'you might want medical', according to body camera footage . She had to be taken to the ground to be handcuffed and she hit an officer in the shoulder as well as kicked him in the face, police said. She was booked on resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intoxication. Sheehan was taken to Santa Rita jail in Dublin, where her handcuffs were removed so she could remove her jewelry. She was 'initially compliant', but after she was told she couldn't bring a hair tie into the jail, she threw it at one of the officers. She then 'inexplicably' started looking through her purse and didn't stop when asked to do so, BART police said. Officer Nolan Pianta put her in an 'arm bar control hold to gain compliance', but she resisted and tried 'violently punching', the police report said. Sheehan said she is embarrassed by how drunk she got the night of the incident and that she deserved to be arrested. But she added that her drunkenness shouldn't warrant the police to be as forceful as they were . Sheehan, a bartender and model, filed her lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. She names BART and Officer Pianta as defendants . She was then 'guided' to the ground by BART and Oakland Police officers, the report said. But Sheehan claims she was forcefully slammed to the ground and left severely injured. Surveillance footage shows Sheehan being grabbed by two officers and being taken to the ground head first. She lost consciousness, suffered four broken cheek bones, a split molar and a cracked front tooth, according to SF Gate. 'They knew by throwing her to the ground without having her hands available to break the fall, that she was going to suffer serious head injuries,' Sheehan's attorney John Scott told ABC. He added that she was uncooperative, and that he believes the excessive force was intentional. Sheehan was arrested by BART officers in a transit station on St Patrick's Day of 2014. She booked into the jail for suspicion of resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intoxication after a night of heavy drinking . Sheehan said it took her a long time to recover from her injuries physically, and psychologically, she still has yet to fully recover . 'In police jargon, she flunked the attitude test,' Scott said, claiming that Sheehan was being 'taught a lesson'. Sheehan was treated by nurses in the station and was taken to the hospital. She said it look a long time to recover physically and she is still recovering psychologically. She is seeking unspecified damages in her suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. She names BART and Pianta as defendants. Attorneys for BART said in court papers that no wrongdoing occurred and that Sheehan was partially responsible for the injuries she sustained. Sheehan was treated by nurses at the jail before she was taken to the hospital. She suffered four broken cheek bones, a split molar and a cracked front tooth .
