A Michigan police officer has been placed on paid leave pending an investigation, and Amazon says it will represent and support the driver.
The arrest of a black Amazon driver after he parked on the wrong side of the street is under investigation by police in a Detroit suburb.
"The driver became argumentative and refused multiple requests for his license. In fact he refused 11 times,” Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said, according to NBC News Detroit affiliate WDIV. Amondeuz Graham, a witness who took the video, told WDIV, “One of the ladies who lived at the residence came out and tried to explain to the cop, ‘Hey, that’s my friend’s house, he was just delivering a package.'”Police said they took the driver into custody and charged him with resisting and obstructing an officer, failure to obey a command, and failure to produce a driver’s license.
The officer was placed on paid leave pending an internal police investigation into the matter, police said in a statement.“We see what others see in these videos, and it’s unacceptable,” said Amazon spokesperson Deborah Bass. “We expect a swift investigation and full accountability for those involved.” Bass said the company will “represent and support” the driver.
