Sharntai Harris, a renowned NYC hairstylist, found herself at the center of controversy after being arrested on November 8th by the NYPD 81st Precinct Warrant Squad for “Harassment and Criminal Contempt complaint of an active Order of protection filed by a former client, Dora Jenkins. The Warrant Squad also received a tip by Jenkins of a “Gun” that may still be present in the hair salon owned by Harris despite there being an active Order of Protection against her.

The arrest, which took place at Harris’s Brooklyn-based salon, “Fabstylist Salon,” has sparked outrage and raised questions about potential preferential treatment due to her father’s law enforcement background. Detective Lynch who arrested Sharntai Harris later “voided” the arrest and decided not to move forward with criminal charges against her without apparently any legal basis which draws a conclusion that it was loosely based upon her father affiliation with NYPD as a former police officer from the 77th Precinct in Brooklyn,NY.

The roots of this legal debacle trace back to 2022 when Harris and Jenkins allegedly engaged in flirtatious behavior. However, as time progressed, their relationship took a turn for the worse, prompting Jenkins to file a harassment complaint on October 21st at the 81st precinct. The evidence presented to Detective Lynch assigned to the case included “emails containing death threats and threats of physical assault, which Jenkins found deeply disturbing and dangerous considering a past physical violence and assault that has been reported against harris according to a criminal complaint report.

“ I was upset that she was allowed to get away with the harassment that I reported to the Detective to get “death threats are no joke and this is my life that I’m trying to protect and she is nothing more than a disgrace to her father’s name and legacy”.Says Jenkins in a statement.

Jenkins’ Plea for Justice:

In an interview, Jenkins expressed her frustration, stating, “I just wanted the harassment to stop from Sharntai Harris and for her to not think that just because your father was a cop you won’t face any criminal charges she needs to stop disgracing her fathers name”. She emphasized the severity of the threats made against her and the disappointment she felt towards the NYPD Detective Lynch’s decision to “void” the arrest.

The controversy surrounding this case stems from the alleged preferential treatment given to Sharntai Harris due to her father’s law enforcement background. The statement, “I’m not surprised the detective on the case decided to avoid the arrest; her father was a cop; there’s not much they wanted to do to her in this situation,” echoes the sentiments of those who believe Harris received special treatment.

The arrest voiding decision has left many questioning the impartiality of the justice system, especially when it comes to individuals with ties to law enforcement. Critics argue that such incidents erode public trust and raise concerns about the fairness of legal proceedings.

Impact on the Community:

The case of Sharntai Harris has sparked a broader conversation about the intersection of privilege, influence, and justice within the legal system. Advocates for accountability argue that everyone should be held to the same standard, regardless of familial connections. The perception that Harris may have been shielded from the consequences of her actions due to her father’s profession has raised concerns about the potential misuse of power within law enforcement circles.

As the controversy surrounding Sharntai Harris’s arrest continues to unfold, it underscores the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability within the justice system. The allegations of preferential treatment based on familial connections raise critical questions about the need for reform to ensure equal treatment under the law. As the community grapples with the implications of this case, it serves as a stark reminder that justice should be blind, fair, and accessible to all, regardless of one’s background or affiliations.
