FBI Joins Investigation of Traffic Stop Involving Black Army Officer

[Malmsy]

The FBI confirmed Thursday they have joined in the investigation of a December traffic stop in Windsor in which an Army lieutenant was pepper sprayed by one of the town’s police officers.

“The Norfolk FBI Field Office is aware of the situation regarding the traffic stop in Isle of Wight County and will review all available facts of the incident to determine what federal response is warranted.” Christina Pullen, a spokeswoman for the office, said in a brief statement emailed to The Pilot.

Also on Wednesday, the president of the NAACP’s Isle of Wight County chapter called for the town’s police chief to resign.

“After watching the press conference held by officials in the Town of Windsor regarding the incident involving Lt. Nazario, we are appalled at some of the statements made by the Town officials as well as the Chief of Police,” President Valerie Butler wrote on the organization’s Facebook page. “Therefore we are calling for the immediate resignation of Chief Rodney Riddle.”

6. I missed the press conference on this one and the article only

eludes to statements made by the chief of police and other officials. They do not say what those statements were, does anyone have any information on that?
