Two police officers accused of using a coin flip to decide whether to arrest a 24-year-old woman during a traffic stop earlier this year have been
fired, Fox News reported.
Courtney Brown and Kristee Wilson were initially placed on administrative leave pending an investigation after body camera footage emerged showing the Roswell, Georgia, officers laughing as they tossed a virtual coin on a cell phone application to decide Sarah Webb’s fate.
Now, Roswell Community Relations Manager Julie Brechbill has confirmed to Fox News that both women were terminated from their posts this week following an internal investigation.
WXIA-TV blew the whistle on the two officers earlier this month in a report that soon prompted authorities to act.
In the body cam footage, Brown asks her fellow officer what she should do after pulling Webb over for reckless driving.
"What do you think?" responding officer Wilson says, according to the body camera footage.
“A, head. R, tail,” Wilson then says, presumably meaning A for arrest, or R for release.
“OK,” Brown says, followed by the sound of a coin flip.
“This is tail, right?” asks Wilson
“Yeah. So release?” Brown says.
“23 [code for arrest],” replies Wilson.
“Michael Jordan?” laughs Brown. “Alright, so I’ve got too fast [laugh] for conditions . . . reckless.”
Webb, who was not aware of the coin flip until much later, was cuffed and hauled into the back of the police cruiser, but the case was later dropped after the prosecutor watched the body camera footage.
In the termination letters, police Chief Rusty Grant wrote that the two police officers had engaged in conduct that he deemed unbecoming of a police officer, Fox News noted.
In a previous post to Facebook, he claimed to be “appalled that any law enforcement officer would trivialize the decision-making process of something as important as the arrest of a person.”
