The department is conducting an internal review of how the officers handled a situation where they left a scene instead of arresting a suspect who refused to comply following a chase.
Police believe a confrontation with a chase suspect who recruited a mob to interfere with officers sends a wrong message.ABC13 has learned an HPD internal review is underway into how a police situation was handled early Monday morning when officers left an arrest scene due to an unruly crowd.
Meantime, the crowd, believed to be family and friends, kept growing. Officers tried to negotiate. The crowd became unruly, and in a bizarre move, the suspect threw out a wad of cash. HPD said all of it led up to a police decision to leave the scene. Stephens worked for HPD for decades. He said he has never seen anything like it. Police sources tell ABC13 a review is underway.
An HPD spokesman said every situation is different. Supervisors were consulted. There was not an immediate threat, and it was a non-violent offense, he said.
