Exclusive video of arrest by Douglasville police chief
ATLANTA - A FOX 5 I-Team exclusive. We have obtained the video of Douglasville Police Chief Chris Womack and his officers arresting a man after a high speed chase.
It was the arrest that had metro Atlanta talking for months and sparked allegations of police brutality. This tape could be evidence before a grand jury in the Fulton County/GBI excessive force investigation.
No one in the public has seen the tape.... until now.
FOX 5 Senior I-Team reporter Dale Russell obtained the arrest video, the mall security video that shows what started the chase, and interviewed the lawyer of the Morris Slaughter, the man who led police on the dangerous high speed chase.
Attorney Mac Pilgrim says he doesn’t believe the chief or his officers did anything wrong during the arrest; his only concern is why police chased a man suspected of two misdemeanors.
