Press stated that an in-car camera in Scott’s vehicle had recorded the incident, which was reviewed by an investigator and supervisors at the department, including by Press.
“Let me be clear,” Press stated in his written comments distributed by email on May 20. “First, Mr. Henderson was physically interfering Officer Scott’s attempt to address any injuries to two separate parties involved in the vehicle crash that he (Officer Scott) was trying to investigate. Second, there was absolutely no abuse or beating of Mr. Henderson, and third, it was Officer Scott who called for medical attention for Mr. Henderson.”
