East Ridge, Tennessee, 4 December 2021 (date on the bodycam). Kadron Locklin was helping chase a neighbor's loose dog into the yard of off-duty East Ridge officer Andrew Carter; each man says the other made a threat first, and responding Officer Sam Roistacher arrested Locklin for aggravated assault and two counts of reckless endangerment over a pistol in his car. Police Chief Stan Allen later called the aggravated assault charge "inappropriate," all three charges were dropped after he consulted the district attorney's office, and Roistacher received a one-day suspension and remedial training for his language. Locklin then filed a federal civil rights lawsuit; its claims are allegations, and we found no reported outcome.
