Awake Goy In 2014, I video recorded Brodrick Nettles speeding 97 on Interstate I-10 with no lights or sirens. Once he saw I was recording him, he pulled me over. When the stop was initiated he refused to identify himself or which agency he worked for. He reached through my window, opened the door, and pulled me through the seat belt to arrest me.
Once in handcuffs, he took my lawfully-carried CCW firearm and searched my vehicle. Other officers arrived after I was secure in the patrol vehicle, but none of them witnessed the “incident.” My charges were speeding, following too closely, careless driving, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and driving without a license. I was booked on those charges.
My rental car was towed to a storage lot. The officers later returned to the vehicle to steal my cell phone. There was no chain of custody performed for the firearm!
After posting bond, I contacted nearly 2 dozen lawyers and was told “this is just how things are done around here; it’s Mississippi Justice.”
One day before court, the officer informed my lawyer that he couldn’t make it to court and that the dashcam was unrecoverable. With my cellphone in his custody, I had no evidence for my case. He didn’t show up to court, but sent two other officers in his place to testify that I was “out of control” despite not being at the stop until I was already secured in the vehicle.
I was not convicted of any charges, but was forced to spend over $4000 on this incident. The cell phone was finally returned to me 16 months after the incident. To date, MHP refuses to pursue any disciplinary action against an officer who was willing to destroy a man’s reputation to avoid answering for his speeding infraction.
