Given the circumstances, [music] the officer decided to issue Williams a ticket for both offenses. However, Williams had already contacted the officer's supervisor. Moments later, the supervisor called the officer's personal cell phone. >> Hold on. Hello? Yes. No, I haven't wrote it yet. I'm probably not going to write it. Oh my god. Okay, well, he's literally just screaming at me and everything else. For no reason. >> Following his supervisor's instructions, the officer stopped writing the ticket. He then got out of his vehicle [music] and returned Williams' driver's license and vehicle documents. At that point, the traffic stop was over. >> All right, you write me a ticket or not, I don't care. I'll take it up to town. We'll go to trial, buddy. >> All right, here you go. Here's your license and registration and insurance. Give it to me. >> Let me have my license now. >> Also, you need to go get your license up to date cuz they're expired, okay? >> That's the time I must >> That evening, Williams contacted both the chief of the Moorefield Police Department and the former chief to express [music] his dissatisfaction with the traffic stop, but neither gave him a clear response. He then went to the mayor's home hoping to file a complaint about the incident and obtain the body camera footage from the traffic [music] stop.
