Bernadette,
True. The officer was there to cite her for violating the law in regards to watering her lawn. However, the rest is a direct result of her actions. No arrest would have been made if the woman had simply given her name to the officer and remained in place. She chose to not give her name to him and started to go inside and close the door. While the tactics might be heavy handed, the cop was again following the law and doing his job. Funny, none of the articles offer any details about the other options available to the officer in reference to the situation.
