CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has released body-worn camera footage of an incident involving an officer who was arrested and charged with embezzlement, according to a department news release.
The video, which was released by court order on June 25, showed an interaction that occurred after a traffic stop on March 14 when an officer was accused of taking cash from a detainee. The officer has since resigned.
Officer Henry Chapman took the stopped driver into custody for an outstanding warrant, according to the report. Chapman transported the arrestee to the University City Division Patrol Office to be handed over to another officer for transport to the Mecklenburg County Jail.
Body camera video shows that while awaiting the transfer of custody, the arrestee told other officers that Chapman had stolen his property.
