Hang out here with a minute for Officer Gonzalez so I can pull my car around here. Okay. Real quick this way on the sidewalk with me. >> The officer begins with the eye movement test, carefully explaining each step before asking her to begin. And do you have any other shoes? Are you going to be okay like maybe doing a walking test in those shoes or do you have tennis shoes with you or anything? >> I do not I don't think I have any other shoes. >> Okay. All right. Come on up here with me. All right. I'm going to have you stand kind of right here on the corner here for me. Okay. >> Okay. >> And come around face me this way. Okay. Thank you. What I'm going to have you do is go ahead and pull your glasses off for me. Okay. You don't need them. It's not a not a reading test or anything like that. Okay. Do you have any issues with your eyes? Any abnormalities? Anything like that? Nothing. Okay. So, what I'm do the first test I'm going to have you do is basically just an eye test, right? I'm going have you do uh you're just going to follow my finger. It's easy simple. Okay? And I'll tell you when we're going to start that. But so, first thing I'm going to have you do feet together kind of like this. So, you got your heels together and your toes together like that. There you go. Just like that. All the way together for me. >> Okay. >> And go and get There we go. Just keep your hands out at your side like this for me. Okay. So, just stay in that position while I explain to test you.

Everything's good right now. Okay. >> Okay. Just keep your hands down your side. >> All right. >> So, again, focus on the tip of my finger here for me. Okay. >> Okay. I'm not used to this. I'm sorry. >> I Nope. It's this >> this is not something I'm used to doing. I got you. I know it's a little different, but you just got to focus on the fitness. Okay. So, keep your head straight for me and then wherever my finger goes is where you watch. Okay. >> As the test continues, she struggles to follow the instructions, but the officer remains patient and calmly explains each step along the way. >> Keep your head straight for me. >> I'm sorry. That's okay. >> I know it's hard to see all the way. Just keep your eyes Okay, keep eyes tilt very tip here for me. Okay. >> All right. I'm sorry. I'm not used to doing this. >> It's okay.

Okay. >> I didn't even know we had to do this ever. >> Keep your head straight for me. That's fine. Just keep your head straight and then just your eyes. There we go. I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to look at. I'm sorry. >> Tip of my finger. Just the very tip again. >> I'm not okay. >> Yep. Just focus on that and wherever it moves, just keep your eyes on that supposed to do. You just keep your eyes focused on the tip of my finger. Okay. >> She continues having difficulty with the eye test. Do you think she'll do any better on the next exercise? Okay, go ahead. Rest your eyes just for one second. This time I'm going to go straight up. Okay. So, you still focus my finger, but it's going to go up this time. Okay. Instead, >> I'm just trying to like done this before and I'm not understanding. >> Okay. >> So, I'm just doing the tip of your finger. Is that all I'm doing? >> Just staring. And you've been doing great so far. I know it's okay. >> It's a little hard to sometimes keep focus on for that. >> Two minutes from my house. I don't understand this. >> Okay. Just tip of the finger again here. Okay. Just keep both eyes focused on that. >> We're going to go up this time. Okay. Okay. Go. Go ahead and shake your legs up and you Okay. Just take a break here for a second. >> Um, do you have any injuries, leg injuries, anything like that that would stop you from doing a walking test? >> No. >> I just >> I got you. And I had to explain to you why I stopped you and just my concerns. Okay. So, I appreciate you doing the test for me. >> Okay. >> Cuz I've never got a test like this, honestly. Ever. Um, so the walking test basically it's going to be walking out of line. Okay. Do do you feel comfortable doing that with your sandals or would you like to do it barefoot? It's totally up to you. >> I mean, what are we doing? >> Okay. Well, I'll explain and show you here in a second. I just want to make sure that those are going to be okay for you to you normally walk in those pretty well. >> I have walked in them before. Yes. >> Okay. Okay. Uh, what I'm going to have you do, okay, this way a little bit. >> The officer then moves on to the walk and turn test. Before she starts, he demonstrates the proper stance, explains how many steps to take, and shows her exactly how to turn around. >> Go and put your left foot on that line right in front of you. >> Okay. >> The line coming this way. Yep. And then put your right foot in front of it. Heel to toe. Just kind of like that. >> Okay. >> Okay. Nope. Hang on. Don't start for me. Let me let me explain it to you. You're fine. >> I'm sorry. >> That's okay. Just go ahead and put that left foot back on there first. >> There you go. And then your right foot in front of it, heel to toe. I don't know if I could do this ever. >> Okay. >> I've never done this. >> Okay. No, don't start yet. I got to explain the test to you. >> What am I doing? >> Yeah. You want to give her What's that? Yeah. Well, she said she was okay with them on, but if you want you do you want to try Do you want to try it without the shoes? You think you'll be able to balance better without them or >> perhaps? I don't know. I've never done it before. Ever. I don't do balance beam. I've never >> done anything. You want to take your sandals off and do it barefoot? You can do that. It's up to you. >> I guess. I don't know. >> There you go. Left foot on. >> I've never done a balance beam where I have to do something >> and just stay like that. All right. Oh, go put your hands. Nope. All right. >> What is that? What we're doing? >> All right. We're going to put your left foot back on the line for me again. Okay. >> Left foot first. Yep. And then right foot in front of your left foot. >> And keep your hands down at your side for me. Just like this. like >> hands down at your side. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize. >> Nope. That's okay. Oh, hang on. We don't We don't want to start yet. I got >> I could never do that. I don't think I could ever do that, honestly. >> You don't think you'd be able to do the walking test here? >> I mean, I don't think I could do that if I tried with my hands, but I don't think I could ever do that. >> Let me get you back here again in the starting position. Okay. So, put your left foot on that line for me first. >> I've never done anything like this ever. >> Okay. And then your right foot in front of that heel to toe and keep your hands down at your side and just stay in that position for me. Okay. >> I've never done that. >> Don't start walking till I tell you to. Okay. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Yeah, that's why. Just stay in that position. Basically, you're going to look like this. Okay. >> Oh, >> just keep your hands at your side. >> Even after the officer explains the instructions several times, she starts the test before being told, forgets parts of the instructions, and responds like this. >> So, we're going to stay just like that. All right. Go and get your feet a little bit closer together for me. Heel to toe. There we go. And your hands down at your side. >> So, when I do when I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps. You're going to count each step out loud. >> I've never done this ever like >> Okay. Well, I'll explain it to you. I will thoroughly explain it to you. >> Okay. >> Uh you're going to take nine heel to toe steps. Okay. Kind of like you were doing, but not until I tell you to to start. Okay. >> Okay. >> You're going to count each step out loud. You're going to look down at your feet while you count and keep your hands at your side. Okay? And I'm going to show you how to do this, too, in a minute. Okay? When you get uh you're going to take nine heel toe steps. When you get that ninth step, you're going to pivot on your front foot and you're going to take several small steps and you're going to take nine steps back down the line. Okay? Until you're done with the test. Let me show you real quick. All right. Go and get back to that position for me. Okay? So, left foot, your right foot's in front of your left foot just like this. Go and do that for me. Okay? >> And then get your >> And then the right foot. >> Yep. And then hands down at your side. >> Okay. >> All right. And when I tell you to begin, I'm going to show you how to do this real quick. So, just watch how I do this. All right. When I tell you to begin, >> okay, >> 1 2 3 4 5 until you get to nine. >> Okay. >> On that ninth step, >> then whatever foot you have in front, you're going to pivot that on the keep it on the line. Take several small steps >> and then nine steps back. >> One, two, three, four, five. Until you're back to nine again. Okay. So again, >> where's the five and the nine? And that's the part I'm not understanding. >> It's it's nine steps down and nine steps back. So it's nine each way. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. So now I explain it to you again. Go ahead and put your left foot on that line again. >> Hang on. Go ahead and get your foot right foot left again. >> Going one, two, like on the line. >> As the test continues, she keeps asking questions and struggles to understand what's expected of her, making it difficult to complete the exercise correctly. >> Straight up. Yep. straight up and down that yellow line directly in front of you. >> One, two, three, four. >> Okay, Michelle, let me have you need me to slide back in. I didn't tell you to begin yet. Okay, >> I'm I apologize. I'm just understanding what you're saying. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> So, does that make sense? >> So, I showed you going to take nine step. Go and put your left foot on that line again for me. >> Okay. >> Your right foot in front of it. >> Yes, sir. >> And your hands at your side. Okay. >> Okay. >> So, again, nine's heel to toe heel to toe steps down the line. Nine steps back. Count on each step out loud, looking down at your feet the whole time. >> So, I'm one, two, go ahead and begin. >> Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and then 10. And then turn around. Is that what we're doing? >> Well, if that's if you think that's what I showed you. >> One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. >> Okay. All right. So, this last test is a balance test. Okay. So, uh, do you have any knee issues, leg issues, where you want to be able to balance on one leg for a short >> No, I've never done any of this for a It'll be a short period of time. Okay. >> Um, do you want to try that? You want to do this without shoes or with shoes? >> I don't know what we're doing, so I don't know. >> All right. Well, I'll tell you what. Uh, I maybe turn just a little bit this way for me. Face me this way. There we go. Feet together like this. Okay. Just stay right where you're at and face me. Don't Don't walk any further. Just angle. There we go. So again, toes, heels together like this. Again, hands down at your side. Okay? When I tell you to begin, you're going to lift either leg. It doesn't matter which one. Either foot of your choice, left or right foot. It doesn't matter which foot. Okay? You're going to lift that foot up directly in front of you, and you keep it level with the ground. You're going to count out loud looking down at that foot. 1,00 1, 1,002, 1,00 3, so on and so forth until I tell you to stop. Okay? >> Okay. >> So again, whatever foot that you want to pick up, it doesn't matter. That's your choice. Okay. >> Uh and I'm going to show you here real quick. Okay. And again, no injuries there that would stop you from doing any type of balancing test. Right. >> The officer then moves on to the final exercise, the one leg stand test. Once again, he carefully explains the instructions and demonstrates the proper technique. >> So again, when I tell you to begin either foot, it doesn't matter. Okay? I'm going to use my right foot just for an example, but you choose whichever foot you want. When I tell you to begin, you lift that about six inches off the ground and you keep it level with the ground. >> I thought you were doing this kind of thing. I'm sorry. >> Like a stor. No. So, you look down at the foot that's raised. Okay. 1,00 1,002 100,004 so on and so forth until I tell you to stop. Okay. >> It's not it's not a long it's not like a 5m minute test. It's not a long period of time. Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. Do you understand those instructions? >> I think so. >> Okay. So, again, when I tell you to begin, you're going to lift either foot. It doesn't matter. Okay, about 6 in off the ground, you're going to point that toe out in front of you and you look down at the toe that's raised. You're going to count out loud 1,00 1 1,002 1003 so on and so forth until I tell you to stop. >> Okay. >> Okay. You understand those? >> Yes. >> Okay. Okay. Go ahead and begin. >> Hey, you want to slide over a little bit just to >> Okay. I feel like I'm on unlevel ground, but Okay. 1001 1002 1001 1002 1001 1002 1001 1002 I don't know I don't know what I'm doing exactly but >> okay go and keep going >> 10001 1002 100 1 2 1 100 1 2 100 1 >> Okay, Mosa, you you can go ahead and stop. Okay, so Michelle, I need some clothes of impairment from you tonight. Okay. >> Okay. So, would you be willing to do a a breathalyzer here on scene? >> No. >> You wouldn't be willing to do that? >> No. >> Okay. Do me a favor. Go and turn around for me. >> Okay. >> Okay. We're under arrest for DUI. >> Okay. >> May I put my shoes on? >> Absolutely. >> Absolutely. >> Give him just a second. >> Yep. The woman later pleads guilty to the DUI charge, bringing the case to an end. She's sentenced to 12 months of conditional discharge, ordered to complete alcohol treatment, and required to pay $2,500 in fines and fees. Mayor orders police officers out of their own station. Deputies respond to the Fort Valley Police Department after the mayor requests assistance serving trespass notices and escorting several members of the police department out of the building following the termination of the city's police chief. Here's what happens when they arrive. >> Okay. >> Hey. >> Hey. >> So power that I have. I'm asking you to leave this premises. I want you to call Colonel Helmer. Is he here today? >> No. >> Okay. Let him know to not come on these premises. You guys are he trespassing. We need all our equipment. We'll get that set up with you at another time. But what you have now, I want you to ask and he's going to escort you to your car. Can you also Where's the guy that cut the locks off our doors? >> Downstairs. >> Okay. Let's go get him, please. >> It was locks on what door? >> Right here. This is the chief. the chief assistant office and this was the chief's office right here. Now I asked Boston who cut these locks off the door. He said Lazar and I told him back these people got to get into the office. That girl been outside with that red hair. This is her office. She been outside since I got here. >> So this office belongs to who again? >> Amanda Smith. [snorts] She outside. >> What's her title? She's the uh the chief administrative assistant phone record. He was on the phone um disputing with somebody. They was very they they made statements saying they called GBI. Um all this just a lot of foolishness to give us push back on it. But we was able to get our attorney on the phone. >> Hi, this is the sheriff the door. >> Okay. >> All right. Just hang tight in here for me >> because um so Flores is basically in my opinion has been on the run since [snorts] January 15th. >> Okay. >> And it had been said that overnight they were moving boxes out. >> The mayor explains that locks have been placed on several offices overnight to protect records and city property after concerns about the former chief's management of department finances. prior to that date. >> Okay. >> Like he been moving boxes out. So I just didn't want any type of sensing information being moved out or to be shredded, you know, I wanted them to be able to get their personal belonging, you know, under supervision of someone that could be trusted. So I just know that he like these people are willing to do anything and they don't respect me. So I just came to see cuz I said how he's been here. This happened last night. So only a select few of people knew that the locks were on the door. So I could see, you know, no one just really working would think anything of it. But Bost been here. He knew. But his response was the people got to be in their office. Flores is not even here. So if you going to say that, you cut hers off. But why would you cut his off? He's not here. It's just no respect of authority or chains of command. >> So this is the administrative office. >> That's the administrative assistance office. That's the young lady that's been outside is not even in her office. She been outside since I got here. >> Okay. >> Before I before like me pulling up. So it's not like she's outside cuz she don't want to be in the building with me. She was already outside. >> So my thing is what was the urgency of her being in her office and she not even in her office and she respect me >> got >> in this city cuz that was a majority vote that made the decision to turn in Florida immediately last night. >> Okay. the reason for the lot being put on this office >> because she's his administrative assistant. >> Okay. >> So, she handles a lot of the business that she does that payrolls and you know we talk about account payables or how things I know she also works with account payables to make sure things get paid. So, I didn't want them to be doing anything forcing things because he he's he's already misused our city funds. We like I have a credit card documents, but he's used city funds to pay for personal items for his family. >> The mayor also explains that the locks were intended to prevent access to offices containing financial records and other important documents until the transition and leadership could be completed. >> Okay? >> And I cannot risk him playing with our money because we already in a deficit. >> Okay? So I just was trying to be in front of it but like this that are willing to do unethical things and we're here. He still going to have to leave. >> Come on. Let's finish this lady. Go ahead and get him up out of here. The sheriff is here. >> Come on out. This office 25 with me. Come on out. She fine. Okay. Come on sir. >> No. He cannot get the business. Go outside. Both of you all step outside, >> sir. >> No, don't do this to yourself. >> 205 325. >> Sure. >> Sir, can you please um >> You have your police chair here. >> Can you be being right over to the P with me? >> Where I am also uh 314 >> probably 1401. Don't do that. No ma'am. No ma'am. >> This this this to me. this too. >> Yeah, I I I know it's a lot going on, but one one one thing I don't want to happen is a lot of back and forth to ensue. >> You understand? Okay. And that's why the GBI is being called, sir. >> Okay. The the the GBI. >> Yes. >> In in reference to I don't know the entire situation. I got called by Locks. >> I Okay, >> I understand. >> And I'm here to take a report on LOS. As far as everything else, who was terminated, why they were terminated, >> we don't have any involvement. Understand? Um >> I didn't know people being escorted out the building. That's just unregard. I got called by lock. So I did. >> I have called for backup. >> Okay. >> Sir, you got your uh Sir, >> you have your identification. >> Uh can you provide to me? >> 051451026. >> You provide me your hard cop, sir? >> Yes. Deputies speak with the assistant chief who admits removing the locks but says he believed he was following direct orders [music] from the police chief. >> No, it's See, you go you go turn to something. It don't have to be um trying to >> Let me explain. Let me explain something to you. You damage city property. You understand that? >> You cut the locks off. >> I didn't damage city property. >> That's the question. Did you cut the locks off? >> Given a direct order from who? >> Chief. >> Chief who? Chief. >> From my understanding, your chief was terminated last night. Step four, >> what I was told, >> but I'm telling you based on from my understanding, >> I was giving direct order. >> Listen to me. >> From my understanding, your chief was terminated last night. You were not aware of that? >> I wasn't here last night. >> No, that's not what I ask you. Were you here? Were you aware of that? >> No, he was still the chief. That's why I was under the assignment. >> So, you were not aware. >> That's it. >> So, nobody told you anything about the chief being terminated last night? >> I said that's it. >> Let me explain something to you. >> I was going direct order. Okay, >> I'm not about to argue with you. >> Listen to me. I've been doing this long enough, okay? I'm giving you the common curse cuz you are another officer, right? But if you going to stand here and blatantly lie to me, >> I was giving direct >> because I understand that I'm past that I'm past that point. Listen to me. No, you listen to me. I'm chief for the next 30 days and I stopped to follow orders. That's it. Okay. >> I was told. Okay. He alleged that he was unaware that Flores was terminated last night or whatever. So, and I asked him, I said, "Did nobody told you that he was terminated?" He said he was adding our direct a directive from the chief. Then he mentioned something about 30 days >> the chief had >> that was a situation for the city administrator and that's fine. That's only what I >> I understand that sir, but at this point I would like for him to remove be moved from the premises as well as Boston and we can handle this with our attorney, but they need to remove the premises immediately and be considered trespassing if they come back. >> Okay. What about their employment? As the investigation continues, deputies [music] work through the legal questions surrounding the officer's employment status and explain why they can't immediately remove anyone from the [music] police department. >> We would have to We don't have an interim chief in place. I don't I always see it >> and I like I've always seen you. >> Yeah. So, that's what I'm saying. >> I understand that. >> Okay. Okay. So, let's let's talk about that at another time, but today I just want you to leave. >> So, as far as the locks, are we y'all pursuing charges or >> Yes. Not against him, but against the assistant. >> Well, he's the one cut the locks. >> Oh, okay. Well, no. >> Yeah, he's the one cut the locks. So, the assistant did not take any part in that. And he's a list that he received directly from the chief. >> Okay. Well, long as we have the report that he received. So BA didn't tell you Boston told you the chief. Okay. Well, long as we have a report that the chief eat. >> So he he's contacting all um one of our majors. >> Okay. So we can make sure everything is on our end is squared away as far as like people being escort that still employed with a because if they're employed here without being terminated unless that ter that employment is terminated they still have a job. You see what I'm saying? So him being an officer him being officer any one of these guys being officer they will have the right to be here because they ter they employment has not been terminated. They're not on suspension and they're not on administrative leave. >> So without those in play, neither one of these people being terminated. Now if it's a termination and then you say, "Hey, they need to be trespassed from the building." But without a termination and they been a city employee, that changes the entire situation. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I'll go work on the termination while we wait for your major. >> Okay. So, and then now it's it's same thing with assistant chief Bostic as well. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's I feel like, you know, today he say he's willing to leave it. >> The mayor tells the deputy that based on her conversation with the city attorney, she believed the assistant chief could be trespassed from the property immediately. She says her understanding was that the city could notify him of any employment decision afterward. >> We're fine with that until we get things figured out and have a better conversation. But by state will be terminated today. >> Okay? >> Because I spoke with a city attorney and they they was told something different. However, disrespecting you in the chain of what's going on today, we can handle the termination. >> What what what were you told >> that we could have him trespassing and he would be notified on the response of how we move forward. But as of now, he could be transferred to >> once we get that. >> Yeah. Because he they are all still employees. Okay, we'll be back. >> Right. Okay. And again, his statement of course is on body cam. >> Um, which he stated he received a directive >> and he he mention he mentioned a 30 days a 30-day thing. >> No, he's a liar and a manipulator. >> So, he was terminated immediately. He was He's not even here. So, he's just get second information. But, he's that's he's a he's a monster. Okay. >> And this is what he do. He uses people to do his dirty work so it won't come back on him. Okay. So, he's going to leave on his own. >> He's going to leave on his own. >> Now, when >> and we have whenever we come to the interim, we'll have them to follow up on him. >> Okay. Like I said, with him still being lawfully employed. >> He's pretty much he has cuz he works here. So, he has a right to be here without a termination, administrative leave, and um >> suspension because, you know, I'm I'm not here to talk to you. >> Yeah. >> I mean, we've always had a friendly relationship. Right. Thank you. >> So, um, if like with BOS, you talk about termination. Once that is done, he's terminated, you all have all your property, whatever the case may be, >> and you still see fit the warrant to come trespass warrant, >> then you know, we'll be >> So, I want y'all to stay here cuz we about to go get >> Yeah, we're not going nowhere. We got our major coming. >> Okay. Deputies explained their legal reasoning to everyone involved, making it clear why they can't remove anyone from the building despite the mayor's request. >> But the reason why I called you, but everything was fine. He was everybody was fine. >> Councilwoman Eastman came over and heard the man start going back and forth about situation with Boston. And like I explained to them, other than the termination, we have no other knowledge of what else is going on over here. Um, we just came along. So >> that's that's ridiculous >> on >> on my end. They don't want to press any charges, man. >> Um, that that's why I stayed you. I'm going to treat you because >> that's why you told me what I told you and >> you you're still an officer and >> I'm be honest with you, this is a up situation. >> In order to experience this, you got to report stuff to have some sort of so Um, since you right here, this where we are. As far as removing people from the property, we we have no legal reason to do that because nobody has been terminated. Nobody has been suspended. Nobody's on administrative leave. So, you all are still city employees. You all have a right to be here. >> Now, once everything else run it course, whatever they decide to do, that's the citiz. Now at that point if somebody is terminated, suspended, placed on administrative leave, refuse to leave a property only then and then we can trespass you all from the pro but as of right now you all are still city employees and that hasn't been explained to the mayor. Okay. Okay. So that's where we are now. as far as the property deal with the locks on the door for whatever reason they were put up has nothing to do with the county but they were cut off this officer straightforward he was given directed by Chief Flores from his understanding a 30-day thing was in place I don't know I can't say but they don't she don't want to the mayor doesn't want to pursue charges against this young man >> because the officers are still city employees deputies determined they cannot [music] legally remove them from the building or issue trespass warnings at that time. >> They he say he's going to leave or whatever the case may be for the day. >> Now once it gets to the point to where somebody's terminated, suspended on administrative leave, then of course you have no rights to that particular time and a current trespass warning can be issued. But long as you all are still city employees, we can't do that right now. We can't escort nobody to prop. We're not going to escort anybody off the property that is a uh valued employee of the city of Fort Valley until we have termination in place, suspension, administrative leave, and that person refusing to leave the property or the city just say, "Hey, I want this person trespass." But we have to have something else in place other than somebody saying, "Hey, remove him from the property." And if even if that has to take place down the line, it's going to be done in a respectful manner because whoever it is, you're still officers, but before that, you're still a man, woman, whatever the case may be. And we going to treat you as such. We're not there yet. Hopefully, we don't have to get to that point because that that that puts that that causes a lot of friction. Here we are. We got two agencies supposed to be working together. We've been we've been called >> for something that's taking place or whatever the case may be and people want people to be escorted off the property. If it needs to be done, it's going to be done in a respectful manner. It's not going to be in a manner to where, hey, come on, you don't want to go, we going to lock you up, this, that, and the third. It's going to be done respectfully. Hopefully, it doesn't come to that point. Hopefully all this stuff can be worked out in in a respectful manner like grown folk, not employee grown folk. >> So we're all here. I have two personal items in my office. Am I allowed to get them or not? >> We don't make that call. We'll take care of that. >> Yeah, we Yeah, we we can't we can't make that call cuz it's not our property. It's not our building. The deputy explains that if employees eventually need to be removed, [music] it will be done respectfully and only after the proper legal steps have been taken. >> Yeah. He's in this department. >> Yeah. So, >> exactly. >> So, yeah, we we we don't have no involvement in that. Okay. Um we're just standing by for one of our department heads to arrive on scene. So, we'll have somebody higher ranking than us to say, "Hey, this is what it's going to be. is how I'm going to go about it. And it's it's it's a tough situation. Tough situation. But other things has to take place before we just come over here and say, "Hey, you got to go. We don't we're not there. We We don't have that." It went from damaged locks to people being escorted. I wasn't aware. We just got called about locks. And that same thing I told my lieutenant we got called about locks and then people want to be escorted off the build out the building whatever. So >> yeah, we just not gonna do that and and then not be right in doing that. And we pretty much know all these guys over here anyway. So it's going to be if it has to be done, it's going to be a respectful manner. It's not going to be to hurt anybody or whatever the case may be. >> Excuse myself. Am I okay? >> Yeah, I got all your information. I'm done with you. Um, if you want to go ahead and leave the premises like you agreed to do. >> Yeah. I'm going to I'm going to grab my stuff from downstairs. I have my personal computer, all that stuff. >> Yeah. Well, don't you know, we're not I'm not telling you have to go. >> And that that is why I told you when I got that's and I appreciate. >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Thank you, sir. >> Yes, sir. >> Hey, man. How you doing? >> Come on. Get that coffee. Come back. Who? What's up? You doing all right, man? >> Yeah. You You calm? >> I'm good. I'm good. >> An officer then speaks briefly with one of the department employees, acknowledging how complicated the situation has become. She points out that sensitive police records and evidence [music] are stored inside the building, making it important to carefully control who has access. >> Yeah, there's like a power struggle top going on right now. Plus, there's there's police information to run this police department >> in that cannot be >> I understand. >> I know you tell us. >> Yeah, >> believe me outside. >> Reports later indicate that the former police chief and former assistant chief plan to pursue legal action against the mayor and the city of Fort Valley over the circumstances surrounding their removal from the department. And that folks is what happens when money gets mistaken for immunity.
