Harry Daniels, attorney to Pastor Jennings, said in a news release last week quoted by CNN:
"This video makes it clear that these officers decided they were going to arrest Pastor Jennings less than five minutes after pulling up and then tried to rewrite history claiming he hadn't identified himself when that was the first thing he did."
Charges dropped
Police authorities say the charges preferred against the pastor have been dropped after he was obviously absolved of any wrongdoing.
Richard McClelland, chief of police for the city of Childersburg, said in the statement:
"The 911 audio recording from the call and officer body camera footage was reviewed and interviews were conducted with the officers involved as part of my own investigation of the incident.
"As result of my investigation, I have recommended to the Municipal Judge of The City of Childersburg that the warrant be dismissed with prejudice."
